- ¶ O GOD, my heart is ready, my heart is ready;
I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
- 2
- Awake, my harp;
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 to the heavens;
and thy truth reaches to the heaven of heavens.
- 5
- Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth,
- 6
- ¶ That thy beloved may be delivered;
save me with thy right hand, and answer me.
- 7
- God has 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 my head;
Judah is my king;
- 9
- Moab is my washpot;
Edom will loosen 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 cast us off?
and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
- 12
- Give us strength against our enemies;
for vain is the help of man.
- 13
- Through God we shall do valiantly;
for he it is who shall tread down our enemies.
