UST PSA Chapter 108

108 David wrote psalm. is a song.

1 God, I am completely committed to worshiping you.

I will sing and I will play music to praise you.

I will do this with my whole being!

2 I will arise before the sun rises,

and I will praise you while I play my lyre and my harp.

3 Yahweh, I will thank you as foreign people listen;

yes, I will play music to praise you before other people groups.

4 I will do that because the way that you faithfully love us is so great that it is like the distance between the heavens and the earth,

and the way that you faithfully keep your promises is so great that it is like the distance between the earth and the clouds.

5 God, show all creatures that you are greater than anything in the heavens!

Show how wonderful you are to people all over the earth!

6 Please answer our prayers and rescue us from our enemies by your power

so that we, the people whom you love, may be safe.

7 Because God is holy, he answered, “I will joyfully divide the area of Shechem for you

and I will distribute among my people the land in the Valley of Succoth.

8 The region of Gilead is mine;

the area of the tribe of Manasseh is mine;

the tribe of Ephraim is like my war helmet;

and the tribe of Judah is like my royal scepter.

9 The people of Moab serve me as those who wash my feet;

the people of Edom also belong to me as menial servants;

I have defeated the people of Philistia.”

10 I wait for God to lead us to fight against the people of Edom;

I wait for God to lead my army to attack their capital city that has strong walls around it.

11 God, we hope that you have not abandoned us;

we are distressed that you have not been going with us when our army marches out to fight our enemies.

12 Please help us when we fight against our enemies

because the help that humans can give to us is worthless.

13 But with you helping us, we will win;

you are the one who will enable us to defeat our enemies.
