A Song, a Psalm of David. ¹ My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul. ² Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn! ³ I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations. ⁴ For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the skies. 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 answer me! ⁷ God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
And measure out the valley of Succoth. ⁸ “Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My scepter. ⁹ “Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Over Philistia I will shout aloud.” ¹⁰ Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who will lead me to Edom? ¹¹ Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God? ¹² Oh give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain. ¹³ Through God we will do valiantly,
And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
