1 | A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. |
2 | My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory. |
3 | Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning. |
4 | I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations. |
5 | For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds. |
6 | Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth, |
7 | so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me. |
8 | God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles. |
9 | Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king. |
10 | Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends. |
11 | Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea? |
12 | Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies? |
13 | Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man. |
14 | In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing. |
