1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, || I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory. 2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, || I awake the dawn. 3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, || And I praise You among the nations. 4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, || And Your truth to the clouds. 5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, || And Your glory above all the earth. 6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, || Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us. 7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, || And I measure the Valley of Succoth, 8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, || And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, || Judah [is] My lawgiver, 9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, || On Edom I cast My shoe, || Over Philistia I habitually shout. 10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom? 11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts! 12 Give to us help from adversity, || And the salvation of man is vain. 13 We do mightily in God, || And He treads down our adversaries!
