A Song or Psalm of David.

1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: And thy glory above all the earth;

6 That thy beloved may be delivered: Save with thy 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.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9 Moab is my washpot; Over Edom will I cast out my shoe; Over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12 Give us help from trouble: For vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
