Israel's Kingdom Blessing

(2 Samuel 23:1-7)

1{107:1}A canticle of a psalm for David himself. [2] My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.

2{107:3}Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.

3{107:4}I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

4{107:5}For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.

5{107:6}Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth:

6{107:7}That thy beloved may be delivered. Save with thy right hand and hear me.

7{107:8}God hath spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

8{107:9}Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine and Ephraim the protection of my head. Juda is my king:

9{107:10}Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

10{107:11}Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11{107:12}Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off ? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?

12{107:13}O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13{107:14}Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
