Psalm 107

Masoretic — Psalm 108

The ode of a psalm; by David.

My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready;

I will sing and give praise in my glory.

Awaken, lute and harp;

I shall awaken early in the morning.

I will give thanks to You among the peoples, O Lord,

And I will sing to You among the Gentiles;

For great is Your mercy above the heavens,

And Your truth even to the clouds.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

And Your glory above all the earth.

That Your beloved ones may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

God spoke in His place,

“I shall be exalted, and I will divide Shechem,

And measure out the valley of tents;

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

And Ephraim is the strength of My head;

Judah is My king.

Moab is the cauldron of My hope;

I will stretch out My shoe over Edom;

Foreign tribes were subjected to Me.”

Who will bring me into a fortified city?

Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Will not You, O God, who drove us away?

And will You not go out with our armies, O God?

Give us help from affliction,

For the salvation of man is worthless.

In God we shall do a mighty thing,

And He shall despise our enemies.
