A song. A Psalm of David.

1My heart is steadfast, O God;I will sing and make music with all my being.

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

3I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations;I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens,and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;may Your glory cover all the earth.

6Respond and save us with Your right hand,that Your beloved may be delivered.

7God has spoken from His sanctuary:“I will triumph!I will parcel out Shechemand apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9Moab is My washbasin;upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?

11Have You not rejected us, O God?Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

12Give us aid against the enemy,for the help of man is worthless.

13With God we will perform with valor,and He will trample our enemies.

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.

3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine 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?

11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, 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.
