1 A Song. A Psalm of David. O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
2 Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. |
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. |
4 For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. |
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth; |
6 That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me. |
7 God has spoken in His holiness: "I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. |
8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. |
9 Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph." |
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? |
12 Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. |
13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies. |
