2 Awake, H5782 psaltery H5035 and harp: H3658 I myself will awake H5782 early. H7837
3 I will praise H3034 thee, O LORD, H3068 among the people: H5971 and I will sing praises H2167 unto thee among the nations. H3816
4 For thy mercy H2617 is great H1419 above the heavens: H8064 and thy truth H571 reacheth unto the clouds. H7834
5 Be thou exalted, H7311 O God, H430 above the heavens: H8064 and thy glory H3519 above all the earth; H776
6 That thy beloved H3039 may be delivered: H2502 save H3467 with thy right hand, H3225 and answer H6030 me.

Commentary on Psalms 108 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
INTRODUCTION TO Psalm 108
A Song cf15I or Psalm of David. This psalm consists of several passages out of the fifty seventh and sixtieth psalms, with very little variation. Jarchi and Kimchi refer it to the times of the Messiah. The title in the Syriac version is,
"concerning the calling of the Gentiles,'
to which, no doubt, it has respect.
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise,.... From hence to Psalm 108:6 the words are taken out of Psalm 57:7, which see.
Even with my glory; my tongue; in Psalm 57:8, it is read, "awake up my glory". See Gill on Psalm 57:7,
For thy mercy is great above the heavens,..... It is in Psalm 57:10, "thy mercy is great unto the heavens". See Gill on Psalm 57:10.
That thy beloved may be delivered,.... From hence to the end of the psalm the words are taken out of Psalm 60:5. See Gill on Psalm 60:5.
Over Philistia will I triumph,.... In Psalm 60:8, it is, "Philistia, triumph thou because of me"; See Gill on Psalm 60:8.
And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?.... In Psalm 60:10, it is, "and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies". See Gill on Psalm 60:10.
