6 That thy beloved H3039 may be delivered: H2502 save H3467 with thy right hand, H3225 and answer H6030 me.
7 God H430 hath spoken H1696 in his holiness; H6944 I will rejoice, H5937 I will divide H2505 Shechem, H7927 and mete out H4058 the valley H6010 of Succoth. H5523
8 Gilead H1568 is mine; Manasseh H4519 is mine; Ephraim H669 also is the strength H4581 of mine head; H7218 Judah H3063 is my lawgiver; H2710
9 Moab H4124 is my washpot; H7366 H5518 over Edom H123 will I cast out H7993 my shoe; H5275 over Philistia H6429 will I triumph. H7321
10 Who will bring H2986 me into the strong H4013 city? H5892 who will lead H5148 me into Edom? H123
11 Wilt not thou, O God, H430 who hast cast us off? H2186 and wilt not thou, O God, H430 go forth H3318 with our hosts? H6635
12 Give H3051 us help H5833 from trouble: H6862 for vain H7723 is the help H8668 of man. H120
13 Through God H430 we shall do H6213 valiantly: H2428 for he it is that shall tread down H947 our enemies. H6862

Commentary on Psalms 108 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 108
This psalm begins with praise and concludes with prayer, and faith is at work in both.
The former part it taken out of Ps. 57:7, etc., the latter out of Ps. 60:5, etc., and both with very little variation, to teach us that we may in prayer use the same words that we have formerly used, provided it be with new affections. It intimates likewise that it is not only allowable, but sometimes convenient, to gather some verses out of one psalm and some out of another, and to put them together, to be sung to the glory of God. In singing this psalm we must give glory to God and take comfort to ourselves.
A song or psalm of David.
