A Song. A Psalm by David.
-
1My heart is steadfast, God.
- I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
-
2Wake up, harp and lyre!
- I will wake up the dawn.
-
3I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations.
- I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
-
4For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.
- Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
-
5Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
- Let your glory be over all the earth.
-
6That your beloved may be delivered,
- save with your right hand, and answer us.
-
7God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph,
- I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
-
8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.
- Ephraim also is my helmet.
- Judah is my scepter.
-
9Moab is my wash pot.
- I will toss my sandal on Edom.
- I will shout over Philistia.”
-
10Who will bring me into the fortified city?
- Who has led me to Edom?
-
11Haven’t you rejected us, God?
- You don’t go forth, God, with our armies.
-
12Give us help against the enemy,
- for the help of man is vain.
-
13Through God, we will do valiantly.
- For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
