He Will Tread Down Our Adversaries

A Song. A Psalm of David.

1My heart is set, O God;

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my glory.

2Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

3I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the skies.

5Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

And Your glory above all the earth.

6That Your beloved may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7God has spoken in His [†]holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the [†]helmet of My head;

Judah is My [†]scepter.

9Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will make a loud shout.”

10Who will bring me into the well-defended city?

Who [†]will lead me to Edom?

11Have You, O God, not rejected us?

And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?

12Oh give us help against the adversary,

For salvation [†]by man is worthless.

13[†]Through God we shall do valiantly,

And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
