1 Song of a Psalm by David.
2 O God, my heart is ready, my heart is ready ; I will sing and sing psalms with my glory.
3 Awake, psaltery and harp ; I will awake early.
4 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people ; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles.
5 For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reaches to the clouds.
6 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens ; and thy glory above all the earth.
7 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his sanctuary ;
8 I will be exalted, and will divide Sicima, and will measure out the valley of tents.
9 Galaad is mine ; and Manasses is mine ; and Ephraim is the help of mine head ; Judas is my king ;
10 Moab is the caldron of my hope ; over Idumea will I cast my sandal ; the Philistines are made subject to me.
11 Who will bring me into the fortified city ? or who will guide me to Idumea ?
12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast rejected us ? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts ?
13 Give us help from tribulation : for vain is the help of man.
14 Through God we shall do valiantly ; and he will bring to nought our enemies. Notesn1 Gr. work power.
