| [1]A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour. |
[1]O god, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. |
| [2]Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn. |
[2]Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. |
| [3]I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee among the nations. |
[3]I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. |
| [4]For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth. |
[4]For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. |
| [5]Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour. |
[5]Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; |
| [6]That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us. |
[6]That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. |
| [7]God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, |
[7]God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out 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 also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
| [9]Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually. |
[9]Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. |
| [10]Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom? |
[10]Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
| [11]Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts! |
[11]Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? |
| [12]Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man. |
[12]Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
| [13]In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries! |
[13]Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. |
