Psalms

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.
