A song, a melody of David.1My heart is prepared, O God; I will sing and make music; my glory also.2Rouse yourself, O harp and lyre; I will rouse the dawn.3I will give thanks to you among the peoples, O LORD, and I will sing to you among the nations.4For your kindness is great above the heavens, and your truth reaches to the clouds.5Be exalted above the heavens, O God, and let your glory be over all the earth.6So that your beloved may be rescued, save with your right hand and answer me.7God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem and measure the Valley of Succoth.8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the security of my head; Judah is my decree-giver.9Moab is my washing pot; upon Edom I cast my sandal; upon Philistia I shout.10Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom.11Have you not rejected us, O God? Will you not go forth with our armies, O God.12Give us help from distress, for the deliverance of man is vain.13Through God we will do valiantly, and he will tread down our enemies.
