| 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.1
|
|
| 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.
