"The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the
ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh, the Messiah,
the Peaceful One, comes to Whom it belongs, and to Him
shall be the obedience of the people."
(Genesis 49:10)
O God, my heart is fixed, steadfast, in the confidence of faith;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory, all the
faculties and powers of one created in Your image!
Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early-
I will waken the dawn!
I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.
For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens!
Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies!
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let Your glory be over all the earth.
That Your beloved followers may be delivered,
save with Your right hand and answer me.
God has promised in His holiness, (regarding the establishment of David's dynasty;)
I will rejoice, I will distribute Canaan among My people, dividing Shechem and the
western region and allotting the eastern region which contains the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is also My stronghold
and the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter and lawgiver.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom (My slave) My shoe I cast
to be cleaned; over Philistia I shout in triumph.
Who will bring me, David, into the strong fortified city of Petra?
Who will lead me into Edom?
Have You not cast us off, O God?
And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.
Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is who
shall tread down our adversaries.
PSALM 108
A Song of David
