Psalms 108:4
2 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.
For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
