A Song or Psalm of David. |
Psalm 108:1-13 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
My heart is very [secure.] I will sing, even with my glory & give praise. Awake, [lyre] & harp. I, myself, will awake early. I will praise You, O Lord, among the people & I will sing praises to You among the nations. |
For Your mercy is [high] above the heavens & Your Truth reaches unto the clouds. Be You exalted, O God, above the heavens & Your glory above all the earth. Save with Your right hand & answer me, [so,] that Your beloved may be delivered. |
[Psalm 60:11-12 Give us help from trouble: for [worthless] is the help from man. Through God, we shall do valiantly. For it is He, [who] shall [trample] down our enemies.] |
I will divide Shechem & [measure] out the valley of Succoth. God has spoken in His holiness & I will rejoice. Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine & also Ephraim is the strength of [My] head. |
[Genesis 48:18-20 And Joseph said to his father, [Jacob, a.k.a. Israel,] Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand upon [Manasseh's] head. And his father refused & said, I know it, my son. I know it. |
He also shall become a people & [Manasseh] shall also be great, but truly, his younger brother shall be greater than [Manasseh] & [Ephraim's descendants] shall become a multitude of nations. |
And [Jacob] blessed them that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you [like] Ephraim & [like] Manasseh. And he [put] Ephraim before Manasseh.] |
Judah is My lawgiver. [*Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh [comes.] And the gathering of the people shall be to Him.] |
Moab is My washpot. I will [throw] out My shoe over Edom. I will triumph over Philistia. Who will bring me into the strong city. Who will lead me into Edom? Won't You, O God, [Who] has cast us off? |
And won't You, O God, go forth with our [armies?] Give us help from trouble: for help of man is vain. Through God, we shall do valiantly: for it is He, [Who] shall [trample] down our enemies. |
