Psalms 108:1-5 Bible in Basic English (BBE)

1 <A Song. A Psalm. Of David.> O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.

2 Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.

3 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.

4 For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.

5 Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over 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.
