O God, my heart is fixed ; I
will sing and give praise ,
even with my glory. |
1
A song. A psalm of David: My
heart is steadfast, God. I
will sing and make music
with my glory. |
|
2
Awake , psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early.
|
2
Awake, lute and lyre! I will
awaken the dawn. |
|
3
I will praise thee, O LORD,
among the people: and I will
sing praises unto thee among
the nations. |
3
I will thank you, ADONAI,
among the peoples; I will
make music to you among the
nations. |
|
4
For thy mercy is great above
the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth unto the clouds.
|
4
For your grace is great,
above heaven, and your
truth, all the way to the
skies. |
|
5
Be thou exalted , O God,
above the heavens: and thy
glory above all the earth;
|
5
Be exalted, God, above
heaven! May your glory be
over all the earth, |
|
6
That thy beloved may be
delivered : save with thy
right hand, and answer me.
|
6
in order that those you love
can be rescued; so save with
your right hand, and answer
me! |
|
7
God hath spoken in his
holiness; I will rejoice , I
will divide Shechem, and
mete out the valley of
Succoth. |
7
God in his holiness spoke,
and I took joy [in his
promise]: "I will divide
Sh'khem and determine the
shares in the Sukkot Valley.

8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is
mine; Ephraim also is the
strength of mine head; Judah
is my lawgiver ; |
8
Gil'ad is mine and M'nasheh
mine, Efrayim my helmet,
Y'hudah my scepter. |
|
9
Moab is my washpot ; over
Edom will I cast out my
shoe; over Philistia will I
triumph . |
9
Mo'av is my washpot; on Edom
I throw my shoe; Over
P'leshet I shout in
triumph." |
|
10
Who will bring me into the
strong city? who will lead
me into Edom? |
10
Who will bring me into the
fortified city? Who will
lead me to Edom? |
|
11
Wilt not thou, O God, who
hast cast us off ? and wilt
not thou, O God, go forth
with our hosts? |
11
God, have you rejected us?
You don't go out with our
armies, God. |
|
12
Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
|
12
Help us against our enemy,
for human help is worthless.
|
|
13
Through God we shall do
valiantly: for he it is that
shall tread down our
enemies. |
13
With God's help we will
fight valiantly, for he will
trample our enemies. |
