1A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is firm, God. I will sing and make music with all my being.
2Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3I will thank you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4Because your faithful love is greater than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5Be honored, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
6So that your beloved people can be rescued, save us with your strong hand and answer us.
7God has spoken from his holy place: "Triumphant, I will divide Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet. Judah is my royal scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin; I will throw my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.
10Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
11Haven't you rejected us, God? You no longer march with our armies.
12Help us against the enemy, because human help is useless.
13With God's help, we will do great things, for he will trample our enemies.
