Psalms 108:2
1 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.
Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
4 For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
