¹   My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; 
          I will sing and make melody. 
          Awake, my soul! 
²   Awake, O harp and lyre! 
          I will awake the dawn. 
³   I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples, 
          and I will sing praises to you among the nations. 
⁴   For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens, 
          and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵   Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, 
          and let your glory be over all the earth. 
⁶   Give victory with your right hand, and answer me, 
          so that those whom you love may be rescued.

⁷   God has promised in his sanctuary: 
          “With exultation I will divide up Shechem, 
          and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 
⁸   Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; 
          Ephraim is my helmet; 
          Judah is my scepter. 
⁹   Moab is my wash-basin; 
          on Edom I hurl my shoe; 
          over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰  Who will bring me to the fortified city? 
          Who will lead me to Edom? 
¹¹  Have you not rejected us, O God? 
          You do not go out, O God, with our armies. 
¹²  O grant us help against the foe, 
          for human help is worthless. 
¹³  With God we shall do valiantly; 
          it is he who will tread down our foes.
