Psalms 108:1-5 American Standard (ASV)

1 My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.

3 I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth `reacheth' unto the skies.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.

PSALM 108

Ps 108:1-13. This Psalm is composed of Ps 108:1-5 of Ps 57:7-11; and Ps 108:6-12 of Ps 60:5-12. The varieties are verbal and trivial, except that in Ps 108:9, "over Philistia will I triumph," differs from Ps 60:8, the interpretation of which it confirms. Its altogether triumphant tone may intimate that it was prepared by David, omitting the plaintive portions of the other Psalms, as commemorative of God's favor in the victories of His people.
