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