1A song of Psalm of David. O God, my heart is ready to sing, and to give praise.
2Awake, O my glory, awake lute and harp, I myself will awake right early.
3I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the people, I will sing praises unto thee among the Heathen.
4For the greatness of thy mercy is higher than the heavens, and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
5Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.
6That thy beloved may be delivered: help then with thy right hand, and hear me.
7God hath spoken in his Sanctuary, which thing rejoiceth me. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine, Manasses is mine, Ephraim is the strength of mine head,
9Judah is my captain. Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I stretch out my shoe, Philistia shall be glad of me.
10Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will bring me into Edom?
11Shalt not thou do it (O God) which hast cast us out: thou God, that wentest not forth with our Hosts?
12O be thou our help in trouble, for vain is the help of man.
13Thorow God we shall do great acts, for it is he that shall tread down our enemies.
