1My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;o

I will sing and make melody.

Awake, my soul!p^,*

2Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn.*

3I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,

and I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,

and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.*

5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

and let your glory be over all the earth.

6Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,

so that those whom you love may be rescued.*

7God has promised in his sanctuary:q

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem

and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.*

9Moab is my washbasin;

on Edom I hurl my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11Have you not rejected us, O God?

You do not go out, O God, with our armies.*

12O grant us help against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

13With God we shall do valiantly;

it is he who will tread down our foes.
