O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith];

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.
^{Tools
2}

Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!

^{Tools
3}

I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the people;
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

^{Tools
4}

For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;
Your truth reaches to the skies.^(A)

^{Tools
5}

Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens,
And Your glory above all the earth.

^{Tools
6}

That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

God has spoken in His ^(a)holiness:
“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense];
Judah is My ^(b)scepter.^(B)

“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];
Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

^{Tools

Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]?
Who will lead me to Edom?

^{Tools
11}

Have You not rejected us, O God?
And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

^{Tools
12}

Give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].

^{Tools
13}

^(c)With God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who will trample down our enemies.^(C)
