A song. A psalm of David.

 ¹ My heart is steadfast, O God;
       I will sing and make music with all my soul.

 ² Awake, harp and lyre!
       I will awaken the dawn.

 ³ I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;
       I will sing of you among the peoples.

 ⁴ For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
       your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

 ⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
       and let your glory be over all the earth.

 ⁶ Save us and help us with your right hand,
       that those you love may be delivered.

 ⁷ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
       "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
       and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

 ⁸ Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
       Ephraim is my helmet,
       Judah my scepter.

 ⁹ Moab is my washbasin,
       upon Edom I toss my sandal;
       over Philistia I shout in triumph."

 ¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
       Who will lead me to Edom?

 ¹¹ Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
       and no longer go out with our armies?

 ¹² Give us aid against the enemy,
       for the help of man is worthless.

 ¹³ With God we will gain the victory,
       and he will trample down our enemies.
