1 A song. A psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul. |
2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. |
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. |
4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. |
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth. |
6 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. |
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth. |
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter. |
9 Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph." |
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
11 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? |
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. |
13 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. |
