A Song or Psalm of David

1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.   lyre

3I will praise You, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4For Your mercy is great above the heavens: and Your truth reaches to the clouds.

5Be You 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 rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.   measure

8Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the strength of My head; Judah is My lawgiver;

9Moab is My washpot; over Edom will I cast out My shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11Will not You, O God, who has cast us off? and will not You, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.   gain victory
