1A Song. A Psalm by David.
2My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
3Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
4I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
5For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
6Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
7That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
8God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
9Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
10Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia."
11Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
12Haven't you rejected us, God? You don't go out, God, with our armies.
13Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
14Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
