1. A song; a psalm of David.
2. My heart is steadfast, God;my heart is steadfast.Let me sing and chant praise.
3. Awake, lyre and harp!I will wake the dawn.
4. I will praise you among the peoples, Lord;I will chant your praise among the nations.
5. For your mercy is greater than the heavens;your faithfulness, to the skies.
6. Appear on high over the heavens, God;your glory above all the earth.
7. Help with your right hand and answer usthat your loved ones may escape.
8. God speaks in his holiness:“I will exult, I will apportion Shechem;the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9. Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh;Ephraim is the helmet for my head,Judah, my scepter.
10. Moab is my washbowl;upon Edom I cast my sandal;I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
11. Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me into Edom?
