1A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul. | 1My heart is firm, God; I will sing and praise you with my whole being. |
2Awake, harp and lyre; I will awaken the dawn! | 2Awake, harp and lyre! I will wake up at dawn. |
3I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. | 3I will give thanks to you among the peoples, LORD! I will sing praise to you among the nations. |
4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the skies. | 4For your gracious love extends to the sky, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. |
5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth. | 5May you be exalted above the heavens, God, and your glory be over all the earth. |
6That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and answer me! | 6In order that those you love may be rescued, deliver with your power and answer me! |
7God has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem And measure out the valley of Succoth. | 7God had promised in his sanctuary: "I will triumph and divide Shechem, then I will measure the valley of Succoth! |
8"Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. | 8Gilead and Manasseh belong to me, while Ephraim is my chief stronghold and Judah is my scepter. |
9"Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Over Philistia I will shout aloud." | 9Moab is my washbasin; I will fling my shoe on Edom and shout over Philistia." |
10Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 10Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom? |
11Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies, O God? | 11God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God? |
12Oh give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. | 12Give us help against the enemy, because human help is useless. |
13Through God we will do valiantly, And it is He who shall tread down our adversaries. | 13I will find strength in God, for he will trample on our foes. |
