1My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing , yea, I will sing praises , even with my glory. 2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early. 3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah , among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth reacheth unto the skies. 5Be thou exalted, O God , above the heavens , And thy glory above all the earth .
God's Faithfulness and Sovereignty
6That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us . 7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8Gilead is mine ; Manasseh is mine ; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. 9Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
A Prayer for Victory
10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom? 11Hast not thou cast us off, O God ? And thou goest not forth , O God , with our hosts. 12Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. 13Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries .
