1.
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2.
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3.
I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6.
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8.
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9.
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10.
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
This he repeats in this place, either because, though the enemies were defeated and subdued, yet there was some strong city or cities which were not yet taken; or in way of thankful commemoration of God’s goodness in answering his former requests, as if he had said, I remember this day, to thy glory and my own comfort, my former straits and dangers, which made mile cry out, Who will bring me, &c.?
11.
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
