1 A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise. 2 Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds. 5 Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth, 6 That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me. 7 God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer. 9 Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph. 10 Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom? 11 Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies? 12 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man. 13 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
A Song or Psalm of David.
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou , O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
