1God praised, and supplicated to give victory.
A Song, a Psalm of David.
My heart is fixed, O God;I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.2Awake, psaltery and harp:I myself will 1awake right early.3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples;And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens;And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens,And thy glory above all the earth.6That thy beloved may be delivered,Save with thy right hand, and answer 2us.7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;Ephraim also is the defence of my head;Judah is my 3sceptre.9Moab is my washpot;4Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;Over Philistia will I shout.10Who will bring me into the fortified city?Who 5hath led me unto Edom?116Hast not thou cast us off, O God?And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.12Give us help against the adversary;For vain is the 7help of man.13Through God we shall do valiantly:For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
