2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
"Awake, awake, Deb'orah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, lead away your captives, O son of Abin'o-am.
Give thanks unto Jehovah with the harp; sing psalms unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;
Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
{A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.} It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High; To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights, Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp. For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Commentary on Psalms 108 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
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.
