A Prayer for Help against Enemies (PSA 108:1-13)

[108:1] I have complete confidence, O God! I will sing and praise you! Wake up, my soul!

[108:2] Wake up, my harp and lyre! I will wake up the sun.

[108:3] I will thank you, O Lord, among the nations. I will praise you among the peoples.

[108:4] Your constant love reaches above the heavens; your faithfulness touches the skies.

[108:5] Show your greatness in the sky, O God, and your glory over all the earth.

[108:6] Save us by your might; answer my prayer, so that the people you love may be rescued.

[108:7] From his sanctuary God has said, “In triumph I will divide Shechem and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.

[108:8] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.

[108:9] But I will use Moab as my washbowl, and I will throw my sandals on Edom, as a sign that I own it. I will shout in triumph over the Philistines.”

[108:10] Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

[108:11] Have you really rejected us? Aren't you going to march out with our armies?

[108:12] Help us against the enemy; human help is worthless.

[108:13] With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.
