1   A song. A psalm of David.

  My heart is steadfast, O God.

  I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2   Awake, harp and lyre.

  I will awake the dawn.

3   I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh;

  I will give you praise among the nations,

4   because your loyal love is great above the heavens,

  and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5   Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

  and let your glory be above all the earth,

6   so that your beloved ones may be rescued.

  Save by your right hand and answer me.

7   God has spoken in his holiness,

  “I will exult, I will divide up Shechem,

  and portion out the valley of Succoth.

8   Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.

  And Ephraim is the helmet for my head.

  Judah is my scepter;

9   Moab is my washing pot.

  Over Edom I will cast my sandal;

  Over Philistia I will shout in triumph.”

10   Who will bring me to the fortified city?

  Who will lead me to Edom?

11   Have you not rejected us, O God,

  and not gone out with our armies, O God?

12   Give us help against the enemy,

  for the help of humankind is futile.

13   Through God we will do valiantly,

  and it is he who will tread down our enemies.
