Song of a Psalm by David.
—
O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
—
Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early.
—
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.
—
For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
—
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
—
That thy beloved [ones] may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary;
—
I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
—
Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king;
—
Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me.
—
Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea?
—
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
—
Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man.
—
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.
