- A Song or Psalm of David.
- 1
- O God, my heart is fixed;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
- 2
- Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
- 3
- I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
- 4
- For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
- 5
- Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
- 6
- That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
- 7
- God hath spoken in his holiness;
I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
- 8
- Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
- 9
- Moab is my washpot;
over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
- 10
- Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
- 11
- Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?
and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
- 12
- Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
- 13
- Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
