Psalms, 108

1. A song; a psalm of David

2. My heart is steadfast, God; my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.

3. Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.

4. I will praise you among the peoples, LORD; I will chant your praise among the nations.

5. For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.

6. Appear on high over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.

7. Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.

8. God promised in the sanctuary: "I will exult, I will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.

9. Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.

10. Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal; I will triumph over Philistia."

11. Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?

12. Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?

13. Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help.

14. We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes.

Notas al pie:

108:1-5 - The psalmist begins with a declaration of trust in God, praising His love and faithfulness. Praise to God is central to the believer's heart, even in the midst of adversity (see also Psalm 57:7-11 and Ephesians 5:19-20).

108:6-9 - The request for salvation and victory is based on the certainty that God is sovereign over all nations. He grants victory to His people, for He controls the destiny of the nations (see also Psalm 60:5-7 and Proverbs 21:31).

108:10-13 - The psalmist recognizes that without God's help, all effort is futile. Trusting in God for victory over enemies is a recurring theme in the psalms (see also Psalm 20:7 and 2 Corinthians 10:4).

108:4 - Great is your love, higher than the heavens. The loftiness of God's love above the heavens is a powerful metaphor for the immensity and incomparability of divine mercy (see also Ephesians 3:18-19 and Lamentations 3:22-23).

108:12-13 - The psalm's conclusion reinforces that with God, the people of Israel will accomplish feats, while human help is insufficient. This reflects their complete dependence on God for true victory (see also Jeremiah 17:5-7 and Romans 8:31).
