2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, The pleasant lyre with the harp.
> It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, To sing praises to your name, Most High; To proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, And your faithfulness every night, With the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, And with the melody of the lyre. For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your 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.
