A Song or Psalm
of David
. O God
, my heart
is fixed
; I will sing
and give praise
, even with my glory
.
Awake, psaltery
and harp
: I myself will awake
early
.
I will praise thee, O LORD
, among the people
: and I will sing praises
unto thee among the nations
.
For thy mercy is great
above the heavens
: and thy truth
reacheth unto the clouds
.
Be thou exalted, O God
, above the heavens
: and thy glory
above all the earth
;
That thy beloved may be delivered
: save
with thy right hand
, and answer
me.
God hath spoken
in his holiness
; I will rejoice
, I will divide
Shechem
, and mete out
the valley
of Succoth
.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh
is mine; Ephraim
also is the strength
of mine head
; Judah
is my lawgiver
;
Moab is my washpot
; over Edom
will I cast out
my shoe
; over Philistia
will I triumph
.
Who will bring me into the strong
city
? who will lead
me into Edom
?
Wilt not thou , O God, who hast cast us off
? and wilt not thou, O God
, go forth
with our hosts
?
Give us help
from trouble
: for vain
is the help
of man
.
Through God we shall do
valiantly
: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies
.
