1My heart is steadfast, O God!
2Awake, O harp and lyre!
3I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.
4For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!
6That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me!
7God has promised in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
9Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
11Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
12Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!
13With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
