1A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early. 3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises to thee among the nations. 4For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] to the clouds. 5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; 6That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me. 7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. 8Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of my head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; 9Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 10Who 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 armies? 12Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. 13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
