1 My heart is steadfast, O God.

I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.b

2 Awake, harp and lyre.

I will awake the dawn.c

3 I will give you thanks among the peoples, O Yahweh;

I will give you praise among the nations,

4 because your loyal love is great above the heavens,

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

and let your glory be above all the earth,

6 so that your beloved ones may be rescued.

Save by your right hand and answer me.

7 God has spoken in his holiness,

“I will exult, I will divide up Shechem,

and portion out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.

And Ephraim is the ⌊helmet for⌋d my head.

Judah is my scepter;e

9 Moab is my washing pot.

Over Edom I will cast my sandal;

Over Philistia I will shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11 Have you not rejected us, O God,

and not gone out with our armies, O God?

12 Give us help against the enemy,

for the help of humankind is futile.

13 Through God we will do valiantly,f

and it is he who will tread down our enemies.
