PSAL. CVIII. A song or Psalm of David. (Book 108)

MY heart is fixt, Lord: I will sing, and with my glory praise. Awake up psaltery and harp,Line 2 my self I'le early raise. I'le praise thee 'mongst the people, Lord,Line 3 'mong nations sing will I. For above heav'n thy mercy's great,Line 4 thy truth doth reach the sky.

Be thou above the heavens, Lord,Line 5 exalted gloriously: Thy glory all the earth above be lifted up on hie. That those who thy beloved areLine 6 delivered may be; O do thou save with thy right hand, and answer give to me.

God in his holinesse hath said,Line 7 Herein I will take pleasure, Shechem I will divide, and forth will Succoths valley measure. Gilead I claim as Mine by right,Line 8 Manasseh Mine shall be, Ephraim is of My head the strength, Judah gives laws for Me.

Moab's My washing-pot, My shoeLine 9 I'le over Edom throw, Over the land of Palestine

I will in triumph go. who is he will bring me toLine 10 the City fortifi'd! O who is he that to the land of Edom will me guide!

O God, thou who hadst cast us off,Line 11 this thing wilt thou not do? And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, O God, forth with our armies go? Do thou from trouble give us help,Line 12 for helplesse is mans aid. Through God we shall do valiantly,Line 13 our foes He shall down tread.
