1A Song, A Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory. 2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake the dawn. 3I will give thanks to you, O Yahweh, among the peoples; And I will sing praises to you among the nations. 4For your loving-kindness is great above the heavens; And your truth [reaches] to the skies. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And your glory above all the earth. 6That your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer me. 7God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defense of my head; Judah is my scepter. 9Moab is my washpot; On Edom I will cast my sandal; Over Philistia I will shout. 10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom? 11Haven't you cast us off, O God? And you don't go forth, O God, with our hosts. 12Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. 13Through God we will do valiantly: For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
