1 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
    I will sing and make melody.
    Awake, my soul!
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:
    “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.
