Holy Bible - American Standard Version(ASV)

A Song, a Psalm of David.

¹My heart is fixed, O God;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

²Awake, psaltery and harp:

I myself will awake right early.

³I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples;

And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

⁴For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens;

And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.

⁵Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And thy glory above all the earth.

⁶That thy beloved may be delivered,

Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

⁷God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;

Judah is my sceptre.

⁹Moab is my washpot;

Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;

Over Philistia will I shout.

¹⁰Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who hath led me unto Edom?

¹¹Hast not thou cast us off, O God?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

¹²Give us help against the adversary;

For vain is the help of man.

¹³Through God we shall do valiantly:

For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
