3 I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

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

5 Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

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

6 In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

11 Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

12 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

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

13 Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

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