A song. A psalm of David.

¹ My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing and make music with all my soul.

² Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

³ I will praise you, O LORD , among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.

⁴ For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory be over all the earth.

⁶ Save us and help us with your right hand,
that those you love may be delivered.

⁷ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
"In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

⁸ Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah 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 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?

¹² Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.

¹³ With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.
