A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour. Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn. I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations. For great above the heavens \is\ Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth. Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour. That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save \with\ Thy right hand, and answer us. God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, Mine \is\ Gilead, mine \is\ Manasseh, And Ephraim \is\ the strength of my head, Judah \is\ my lawgiver, Moab \is\ a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually. Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom? Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts! Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man. In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
