¹ My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;^[a]
    I will sing and make melody.
    Awake, my soul!^[b]
2 Awake, O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn.
³ I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples,
    and I will sing praises to you among the nations.
⁴ For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens,
    and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,
    and let your glory be over all the earth.
⁶ Give victory with your right hand, and answer me,
    so that those whom you love may be rescued.

⁷ God has promised in his sanctuary:^[c]
    "With exultation I will divide up Shechem,
    and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
⁸ Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet;
    Judah is my scepter.
⁹ Moab is my washbasin;
    on Edom I hurl my shoe;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph."

¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹¹ Have you not rejected us, O God?
    You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
¹² O grant us help against the foe,
    for human help is worthless.
¹³ With God we shall do valiantly;
    it is he who will tread down our foes.
