Psalms 108 · Grade 4
Praise and Prayer Together
Read and Think
Psalm 108 is titled A Song. A Psalm by David. It joins parts of two other psalms: verses 1-5 match the end of Psalm 57, and verses 6-13 match the end of Psalm 60. David begins with a steadfast heart, ready to sing and make music with his soul.
David wants to wake up the dawn with praise. He will give thanks to Yahweh among the nations and sing praises among the peoples. His reason is God's greatness: For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. He prays, Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
The second half turns to a request. God has spoken from his sanctuary and claims many lands as his own, from Gilead to Judah. David asks who will lead him into the fortified city. He admits that the help of man is vain. He ends in trust: Through God, we will do valiantly.
