Psalms 108:1-6

Psalm 108

A song. A psalm of David.

1 My heart is unwavering, God. I will sing and make music— yes, with my whole being!

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake the dawn itself!

3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among all the peoples; I will make music to you among the nations,

4 because your faithful love is higher than heaven; your faithfulness reaches the clouds.

5 Exalt yourself, God, higher than heaven! Let your glory be over all the earth!

6 Save me by your power and answer me so that the people you love might be rescued.

Psalms 108:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 108

\\<>\\. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is, ``concerning the calling of the Gentiles,'' to which, no doubt, it has respect.
