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