Psalms 108

(A song and a psalm by David.)

With God on Our Side

1 Our God, I am faithful to you
with all my heart,
    and you can trust me.
I will sing
and play music for you
    with all that I am.
2     I will start playing my harps
    before the sun rises.
3 I will praise you, Lord,
    for everyone to hear;
    I will sing hymns to you
    in every nation.
4 Your love reaches higher
    than the heavens,
    and your loyalty extends
    beyond the clouds.

5 Our God, may you be honored
    above the heavens;
    may your glory be seen
    everywhere on earth.
6 Answer my prayers
and use your powerful arm
    to give us victory.
    Then the people you love
    will be safe.

7 Our God, from your holy place
    you made this promise:
"I will gladly divide up
    the city of Shechem
    and give away Succoth Valley
    piece by piece.
8 The lands of Gilead
    and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
    and Judah is my symbol
    of royal power.
9 Moab is merely my washbasin,
    and Edom belongs to me.
I shout with victory
    over the Philistines."

10 Our God, who will bring me
to the fortress
    or lead me to Edom?
11 Have you rejected us?
    You don't lead our armies.
12     Help us defeat our enemies!
    No one else can rescue us.
13 You are the one
who gives us victory
    and crushes our enemies.
