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.

1 'n Lied. 'n Psalm van Dawid.

2 My hart is gerus, o God! Ek wil sing en psalmsing, ja, ook my eer.

3 Waak op, harp en siter! Ek wil die dageraad wakker maak.

4 Ek wil U loof onder die volke, o HERE, en psalmsing tot u eer, onder die nasies;

5 want u goedertierenheid is groot bo die hemel uit en u trou tot by die wolke.

6 Verhef U bo die hemele, o God, en u heerlikheid bo die hele aarde!

7 Dat u bemindes gered kan word -- verlos deur u regterhand en verhoor ons!

8 God het gespreek in sy heiligdom: Ek wil jubel, Ek wil Sigem verdeel en die dal van Sukkot afmeet.

9 G¡lead is myne, Manasse is myne, en Efraim is die beskutting van my hoof; Juda is my veldheerstaf.

10 Moab is my waskom; op Edom werp Ek my skoen; oor Filist,a jubel Ek.

11 Wie sal my bring in die versterkte stad? Wie lei my tot in Edom?

12 Het U, o God, ons nie verwerp nie? En U trek nie uit, o God, saam met ons leërs nie.

13 Gee ons hulp teen die vyand, want die mens se hulp is vergeefse moeite. [ (Psalms 108:14) In God sal ons kragtige dade doen, en Hy self sal ons vyande vertrap. ]
