תהילים קח

A song. A psalm of David.

My heart is firm, O God;
I will sing and chant a hymn with all my soul.

Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will wake the dawn.

I will praise You among the peoples, O ETERNAL One,
sing a hymn to You among the nations;

for Your faithfulness is higher than the heavens;
Your steadfastness reaches to the sky.

Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God;
let Your glory be over all the earth!

That those whom You love may be rescued,
deliver with Your right hand and answer me.

God promised in the sanctuary
that I would exultingly divide up Shechem,
and measure the Valley of Sukkoth;

Gilead and Manasseh would be mine,
Ephraim my chief stronghold,
Judah my scepter;

Moab would be my washbasin;
on Edom I would cast my shoe;
I would raise a shout over Philistia.

Would that I were brought to the bastion!
Would that I were led to Edom!

But You have rejected us, O God;
God, You do not march with our armies.

Grant us Your aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.

We shall triumph with God,
who will trample our foes.
