A Song. A Psalm of David. O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2
Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
3
I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4
For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth;
6
That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.
7
God has spoken in His holiness: "I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver.
9
Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph."
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11
Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
12
Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.
