1
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; 1
I will sing and make melody.
Awake, my soul! 2
2
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
3
I will give thanks to you, O
and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4
For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
and let your glory be over all the earth.
6
Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,
so that those whom you love may be rescued.
7
God has promised in his sanctuary: 3
"With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
9
Moab is my washbasin;
on Edom I hurl my shoe;
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
O grant us help against the foe,
for human help is worthless.
13
With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
