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.*108.4 clouds: or, skies

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 Gílead 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 Filistéa 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.

14 In God sal ons kragtige dade doen, en Hy self sal ons vyande vertrap.
