- A Song, a Psalm of David.
Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
- 2
- Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
- 3
- I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
- 4
- For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
- 5
- Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
- 6
- That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
- 7
- God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
- 8
- Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
- 9
- Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
- 10
- Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
- 11
- Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
- 12
- Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
- 13
- In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
