[1] My heart is confident, O God. I want to sing and make music even with my soul. [2] Wake up, harp and lyre! I want to wake up at dawn. [3] I want to give thanks to you among the people, O LORD. I want to make music to praise you among the nations [4] because your mercy is higher than the heavens. Your truth reaches the skies. [5] May you be honored above the heavens, O God. Let your glory extend over the whole earth. [6] Save us with your powerful hand, and answer us so that those who are dear to you may be rescued. [7] God has promised the following through his holiness: "I will triumph! I will divide Shechem. I will measure the valley of Succoth. [8] Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter. [9] Moab is my washtub. I will throw my shoe over Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia." [10] Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? [11] Isn't it you, O God, who rejected us? Isn't it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies? [12] Give us help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless. [13] With God we will display great strength. He will trample our enemies.
