New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.
|
1 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.
|
|
2 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.
|
2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
|
|
3 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations.
|
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
|
|
4 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
|
4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
|
|
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.
|
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.
|
|
6 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
|
6 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
|
|
7 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
|
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
|
|
8 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
|
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
|
|
9 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.
|
9 Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
|
|
10 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
|
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
|
|
11 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!
|
11 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
|
|
12 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.
|
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
|
|
13 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
|
13 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
