p My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being! 1
2
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
3
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4
For your steadfast love is great q above the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6
r That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer me!

God has promised in his holiness: 2
"With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah my scepter.
9
Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
s over Philistia I 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?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12
Oh grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
13
With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
