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