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; 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.
