The Psalms

[A Song, a Psalm of David.] My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn!

I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; And I will sing praises to Thee among the nations.

For Thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And Thy truth [reaches] to the skies.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Thy glory above all the earth.

That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer me!

God has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.

"Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter.

"Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Over Philistia I will shout aloud."

Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom?

Hast not Thou Thyself, O God, rejected us? And wilt Thou not go forth with our armies, O God?

Oh give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain.

Through God we shall do valiantly; And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
