Psalm 108 (KJV)

The text, King James Version

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

Summary of the chapter

From Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary.

--We may usefully select passages from different psalms, as here, Psa 57; 60, to help our devotions, and enliven our gratitude. When the heart is firm in faith and love, the tongue, being employed in grateful praises, is our glory. Every gift of the Lord honours and profits the possessor, as it is employed in God's service and to his glory. Believers may pray with assured faith and hope, for all the blessings of salvation; which are secured to them by the faithful promise and covenant of God.…
