Psalms 108:1-8

1 <> My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

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

3 I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

4 For your lovingkindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens, Let your glory be over all the eretz.

6 That your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shekhem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot.

8 Gil`ad is mine. Menashsheh is mine. Efrayim also is my helmet. Yehudah is my scepter.
