Praise and Supplication to God for Victory. A Song. A Psalm of David. 1O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith]; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.
2Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn!
3I will praise and give thanks to You, O LORD, among the people; And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens; Your truth reaches to the skies.
5Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth.
6That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
7God has spoken in His [a]holiness: “I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people], And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense]; Judah is My [b]scepter.
9“Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine]; Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”
10Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom?
11Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?
12Give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].
13[c]With God we will do valiantly, For it is He who will trample down our enemies. [a] 7 Or sanctuary. [b] 8 Or lawgiver. [c] 13 Or In or Through. Amplified Bible Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation All rights reserved www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
