God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

A Song, a Psalm of David.

1
My heart is steadfast, O God;
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

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

3
I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4
For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
And Your truth {reaches} to the skies.

5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth.

6
That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7
God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem
And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8
“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My scepter.

9
“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Over Philistia I will shout aloud.

10
Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

11
Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

12
Oh give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain.

13
Through God we will do valiantly,
And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
