1 A
Song or
Psalm of
David.O
God, my
heart is
fixed; I will
sing and give
praise, even with my
glory.
2 Awake,
psaltery and
harp: I myself will
awake early.
3 I will
praise thee, O
LORD, among the
people: and I will sing
praises unto thee among the
nations.
4 For thy
mercy is
great above the
heavens: and thy
truth reacheth unto the
clouds.
5 Be thou
exalted, O
God, above the
heavens: and thy
glory above all the
earth;
6 That thy
beloved may be
delivered:
save with thy right
hand, and
answer me.
7 God hath
spoken in his
holiness; I will
rejoice, I will
divide Shechem, and mete
out the
valley of
Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the
strength of mine
head;
Judah is my
lawgiver;
9 Moab is my
washpot rachats#
; over
Edom will I cast
out my
shoe; over
Philistia will I
triumph.
10 Who will
bring me into the
strong city? who will
lead me into
Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O
God, who hast cast us
off? and wilt not thou, O
God, go
forth with our
hosts?
12 Give us
help from
trouble: for
vain is the
help of
man.
13 Through
God we shall
do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread
down our
enemies.
