1 {\i 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. 2 Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake early. 3 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles. 4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reaches to the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth. 6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary; 7 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents. 8 Galaad is mine; and Manasses is mine; and Ephraim is the help of mine head; Judas is my king; 9 Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I cast my sandal; the Philistines are made subject to me. 10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? or who will guide me to Idumea? 11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? 12 Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the help of man. 13 Through God we shall {Gr. work power} do valiantly; and he will bring to nought our enemies.
