1God, I have decided to trust you always. I will sing songs to praise you, with all that I am. 2I will pick up my harp and my lyre. I will make music as the sun rises! 3 Lord, I will thank you in front of all the people. I will sing to praise you, so that all nations hear. 4Your faithful love is great. It is higher than the skies. Your truth reaches beyond the clouds. 5God, show how great you are, high above the sky! Let everybody on the earth see your glory. 6Use your power to rescue us! Answer our prayers! Then the people that you love will be safe. 7God has spoken from his holy place! 108:7 The holy place is God’s home. Perhaps it was the temple in Jerusalem, or God’s home in heaven. He has promised: ‘I will show my power! I will make Shechem into separate pieces. I will measure Succoth Valley. 8Gilead belongs to me, and so does Manasseh. Ephraim is like my helmet for war. Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre. 108:8 The first six places were all parts of Israel. They all belong to God. He will decide what to do with them. They will have important jobs, like Ephraim as a soldier and Judah as a judge. 9But Moab is the place where I wash my hands. Edom is my servant. I can throw my shoes at him! I will shout aloud, because I have won against the Philistines.’ 108:9 Moab, Edom and the Philistines were all enemies of Israel. God will use them like his servants, to do what he wants. 10Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will take me to fight and win against Edom? 108:10 From verse 10 to the end, David is speaking again. 11God, have you really turned against us? Will you not lead our armies into battle? 12Help us to fight against our enemies, because help from men is useless! 13With God’s help, we will win! He will beat down our enemies for us. You are still a young man, but everyone should respect you as the leader in the church. Show the believers how they should live. Be a good example to them in these ways: what you say, what you do, how you love people, how you trust God, and how you do only what is right. https://temtube.com/#bible#bibleverse#subscribe
