Psalms

1A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

2Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

3I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.

4For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.

5Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

6That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.

7God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

8Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,

9Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

10Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

11Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

12Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

13In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!

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.
