1 | My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul! |
2 | Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! |
3 | I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations. |
4 | For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds. |
5 | Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth! |
6 | That thy beloved may be delivered, give help by thy right hand, and answer me! |
7 | God has promised in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth. |
8 | Gilead is mine; Manas'seh is mine; E'phraim is my helmet; Judah my scepter. |
9 | Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph." |
10 | Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
11 | Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies. |
12 | O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man! |
13 | With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. |
