| 1A Song. A Psalm of David. O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. | 1My heart is firm, God; I will sing and praise you with my whole being. |
| 2Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. | 2Awake, harp and lyre! I will wake up at dawn. |
| 3I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. | 3I will give thanks to you among the peoples, LORD! I will sing praise to you among the nations. |
| 4For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. | 4For your gracious love extends to the sky, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. |
| 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth; | 5May you be exalted above the heavens, God, and your glory be over all the earth. |
| 6That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me. | 6In order that those you love may be rescued, deliver with your power and answer me! |
| 7God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. | 7God had promised in his sanctuary: "I will triumph and divide Shechem, then I will measure the valley of Succoth! |
| 8Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. | 8Gilead and Manasseh belong to me, while Ephraim is my chief stronghold and Judah is my scepter. |
| 9Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph.” | 9Moab is my washbasin; I will fling my shoe on Edom and shout over Philistia." |
| 10Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 10Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom? |
| 11Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? | 11God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God? |
| 12Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. | 12Give us help against the enemy, because human help is useless. |
| 13Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies. | 13I will find strength in God, for he will trample on our foes. |
