1 O God, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory!

2 A wake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early—I will waken the dawn!

3 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations.

4 F or Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies!

5 B e exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.

6 T hat Your beloved may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us!!

7 G od has promised in His holiness: I will rejoice, I will distribute, dividing Shechem and the Valley of Succoth.

8 G ilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My stronghold and the defense of My head; Judah is My scepter and lawgiver.

9 M oab is My washbasin; upon Edom My shoe I cast; over Philistia I shout.

10 W ho will bring me into the strong, fortified city ? Who will lead me into Edom?

11 H ave You not cast us off, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?

12 G ive us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

13 T hrough and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.
