108 This Psalm is composed of two other Psalms before the seven and fiftieth and the sixtieth.  The matter here contained is, 1 That David giveth himself with heart and voice to praise the Lord, 7 and assureth himself of the promise of God concerning his kingdom over Israel, and his power against other nations: 11 Who though he seem to forsake us for a time, yet he alone will in the end cast down our enemies.

A song or Psalm of David.

O God, mine heart is [a]prepared, so is [b]my tongue: I will sing and give praise.

Awake viol and harp, I will awake early.
