Psalms 108:1-7

1 My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!

2 Wake up, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song.

3 I will thank you, LORD, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations.

4 For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.

6 Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.

7 God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

Psalms 108:1-7 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.
