The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1O Elohim, my heart is steadfast; I sing and give praise – even my esteem. 2Awake, harp and lyre! I awake the dawn. 3I praise You, O יהוה, among peoples, And I sing praises to You among the nations. 4For Your kindness is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. 5Exalt Yourself above the heavens, O Elohim, And Your esteem above all the earth; 6In order that those You love Might be delivered. Save with Your right hand, And answer me. 7Elohim has spoken in His set-apartness, “I exult, I portion out Sheḵem, And I measure out the Valley of Sukkoth. 8“Gil‛aḏ is Mine, Menashsheh is Mine, And Ephrayim is My chief defence, Yehuḏah is My lawgiver. 9“Mo’aḇ is My wash-pot, Over Eḏom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I raise a shout.” 10Who would bring me into the strong city? Who shall lead me to Eḏom? 11Have You not rejected us, O Elohim? And You do not go out with our armies, O Elohim! 12Give us help from distress, For the help of man is naught. 13In Elohim we do mightily, For it is He who treads down our adversaries. |
