Psalm 108 is a combination of parts of Psalms 57 and 60, where the psalmist David expresses his confidence in God and asks for help in difficult times. He begins with praise to God and then asks him to help him in his battles. Here are five verses related to the topics covered in Psalm 108:
Psalm 57:7: "My heart is firm, O God, my heart is firm; I will sing and praise!" This verse is similar to the beginning of Psalm 108, where the psalmist expresses his desire to sing and praise God.
Psalm 60:11: "Give us help against the adversary, for it is useless to help man." This verse is related to the psalmist's request for help in Psalm 108:12, where he asks God to help him against his enemies.
Psalm 57:3: "He will send from heaven and save me; He will humiliate me he who seeks to devour me." This verse is related to the confidence of the psalmist in God in Psalm 108:6, where he states that God is above heaven and that his mercy is upon the earth.
Psalm 60:12: "With God we will perform prowess, and He will crush our opponents." This verse is related to the theme of God helping the psalmist in his battles in Psalm 108:13, where he asks God to help him prevail over his enemies.
Psalm 57:9: "I will praise you among the peoples, Lord, I will sing you among the nations." This verse is related to the theme of praise to God in Psalm 108:3, where the psalmist claims that he will praise God among the peoples and sing praises between the nations.
