O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, lute and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
2
Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will thank you, ADONAI, among the peoples; I will make music to you among the nations.

4 For your grace is great, above heaven, and your truth, all the way to the skies.
4
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth,
5
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 in order that those you love can be rescued; so save with your right hand, and answer me!
6
That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God in his holiness spoke, and I took joy [in his promise]: "I will divide Sh'khem and determine the shares in the Sukkot Valley.
7

8 Gil'ad is mine and M'nasheh mine, Efrayim my helmet, Y'hudah my scepter.
8
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Mo'av is my washpot; on Edom I throw my shoe; Over P'leshet I shout in triumph."
9
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 God, have you rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.
11
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Help us against our enemy, for human help is worthless.
12
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 With God's help we will fight valiantly, for he will trample our enemies.
13
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
