A Song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my soul!
2
Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!
3
I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations.
4
For thy steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
5
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let thy glory be over all the earth!
6
That thy beloved may be delivered, give help by thy right hand, and answer me!
7
God has promised in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
8
Gilead is mine; Manas'seh is mine; E'phraim is my helmet; Judah my scepter.
9
Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
