[1] A song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being. [2] Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. [3] I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples. [4] For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. [5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth. [6] Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. [7] God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. [8] Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. [9] Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” [10] Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? [11] Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? [12] Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. [13] With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
