| 1 | Song of chanting to David. My heart being prepared, O God, I will sing and play on the harp, also mine honor. | My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being! | A song. A psalm of David. My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul. | |
| 2 | Awake, lyre and harp: I will awake early. | Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! | Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. | |
| 3 | I will praise thee among the people of Jehovah, and I will play on the harp in the nations. | I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. | I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. | |
| 4 | For great above the heavens thy mercy, and even to the clouds thy truth. | For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. | For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | |
| 5 | Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God: and over all the earth, thy glory; | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. | |
| 6 | So that thy beloved ones shall be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer us. | That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me! | Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. | |
| 7 | God shake in his holy place; I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and I will measure the valley of tents. | God has promised in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth. | God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. | |
| 8 | To me Gilead; to me Manasseh; and Ephraim, the fortress of my head, and Judah my judge. | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter. | Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. | |
| 9 | Moab the pot of my washing; upon Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia will I shout for joy. | Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” | Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” | |
| 10 | Who will bring me to the city of fortification? who guide me even to Edom? | Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | |
| 11 | Will not God? Thou didst cast us off, and wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our armies? | Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies. | Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? | |
| 12 | Give to us help from straits: and vain the salvation of man. | Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! | Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. | |
| 13 | In God we shall do strength, and he will tread down our enemies. | With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. | With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. | |
