[1] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with
my soul. [2] Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn. [3] I will
give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations. I will sing praises to
you among the peoples. [4] For your lovingkindness is great above the
heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. [5] Be exalted, God,
above the heavens, Let your glory be over all the earth. [6] That your
beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us. [7]
God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth. [8] Gilead is mine. Manasseh is
mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter. [9] Moab is my
wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over
Philistia." [10] Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led
me to Edom? [11] Haven`t you rejected us, God? You don`t go forth, God,
with our armies. [12] Give us help against the enemy, For the help of
man is vain. [13] Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who
will tread down our enemies. Psalm 109 For the Chief Musician. A
Psalm by David.
