Psalm 108: David tells God that he will always sing God’s *praises. *Praises are words to tell someone that they are very great. David will start to sing before the dawn, In Psalm 57, David thanks God for giving him help to fight his enemies. In Psalm 60, those enemies are Babylon and Edom, the two countries that started the *exile. So David really did write Psalm 108! Psalm 108: This psalm is composed of fragments from two other psalms. The first section (verses 1-5 is taken from 57:7-11) the second section (verses 6-13, is taken from 60:5-12), with little change in the wording of either fragment. Though taken from psalms of individual lament (chapter 57), and national lament (chapter 60), the present psalm is composed of the most positive sections of confidence in both. The resulting work is a psalm of victory that only briefly alluded to the nation’s lament, namely, their ever-present enemies (verses 12-13).In verse 1, David tells God that he will always sing God’s *praises.
Psalm 108:1-13
God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. arrowup arrowright
