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.
