A Song, a Psalm of David.

1My heart is steadfast, O God;
            I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

      2Awake, harp and lyre;
            I will awaken the dawn!

      3I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples,
            And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

      4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
            And Your truth reaches to the skies.

      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 answer me!

      7God has spoken in His holiness:
            “I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
            And measure out the valley of Succoth.

      8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
            Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
            Judah is My scepter.

      9“Moab is My washbowl;
            Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
            Over Philistia I will shout aloud.”

      10Who will bring me into the besieged city?
            Who will lead me to Edom?

      11Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
            And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

      12Oh give us help against the adversary,
            For deliverance by man is in vain.

      13Through God we will do valiantly,
            And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
