Psalm 108

MSG

KJV

1 I'm ready, God, so ready, ready from head to toe. Ready to sing, ready to raise a God-song:
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 "Wake, soul! Wake, lute! Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I'm thanking you, God, out in the streets, singing your praises in town and country.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud's a flag to your faithfulness.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Soar high in the skies, O God! Cover the whole earth with your glory!
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 And for the sake of the one you love so much, reach down and help me - answer me!
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 That's when God spoke in holy splendor: "Brimming over with joy, I make a present of Shechem, I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead's in my pocket, to say nothing of Manasseh. Ephraim's my hard hat, Judah my hammer.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab's a scrub bucket - I mop the floor with Moab, Spit on Edom, rain fireworks all over Philistia."
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will take me to the thick of the fight? Who'll show me the road to Edom?
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 You aren't giving up on us, are you, God? refusing to go out with our troops?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless.
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
