My heart is fixed, O God, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.

3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to thee among the nations.

4 For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.

For thy loving kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is to the skies.

5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory above all the earth.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult. I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

9 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Over Philistia I will shout.

10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

Have thou not cast us off, O God? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

12 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.

Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
