Israel’s Kingdom Blessing
(Psalm 57:1–11; Psalm 60:1–12)

1A song or Psalme of Dauid. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.

2Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.

4For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.

5Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,

6That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

7God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.

9Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.

10Who will leade mee into the strong citie? Who will bring me vnto Edom?

11Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?

12Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

13Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
