Psalm 108
1 O God, my
heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even
with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake
early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and
I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy
truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy
glory above all the earth;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy
right hand, and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I
will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of
Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is
the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my
shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will
lead me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and
wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help
of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is
that shall tread down our enemies.

- The Book of David
The Book of Psalms which contains Psalm 108 is also referred to
as the Book of David. David reigned over Judah and Israel
was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel. King
David is credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms
and the collection is therefore often referred to as the
Book of David. |
