Psalms 108:1-6

1 My heart is confident, O God. I want to sing and make music even with my soul.

2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I want to wake up at dawn.

3 I want to give thanks to you among the people, O LORD. I want to make music to praise you among the nations

4 because your mercy is higher than the heavens. Your truth reaches the skies.

5 May you be honored above the heavens, O God. Let your glory extend over the whole earth.

6 Save [us] with your powerful hand, and answer us so that those who are dear to you may 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.
