Psalm 108:6-9 Part 1 of 2

Now rescue your beloved people.

    Answer and save us by your power.

God has promised this by his holiness:

"I will divide up Shechem with joy.

    I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine,

    and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

    and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

But Moab, my wash basin, will become my servant,

    and I will wipe my feet on Edom

    and shout in triumph over Philistia." 

 

Now rescue  your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.
