1A song. A psalm of David.
2aCf. Ps. 57.8–12. My heart is firm, O God;I will sing and chant a hymn with all my soul.
3Awake, O harp and lyre!I will wake the dawn.
4I will praise You among the peoples, O ETERNAL One,sing a hymn to You among the nations;
5for Your faithfulness is higher than the heavens;Your steadfastness reaches to the sky.
6Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God;let Your glory be over all the earth!
7bCf. Ps. 60.7–14. That those whom You love may be rescued,deliver with Your right hand and answer me.
8God promised in the sanctuarycin the sanctuary Or “by God’s holiness.” that I would exultingly divide up Shechem,and measure the Valley of Sukkoth;
9Gilead and Manasseh would be mine,Ephraim my chief stronghold,Judah my scepter;
10Moab would be my washbasin;on Edom I would cast my shoe;I would raise a shout over Philistia.
11Would that I were brought to the bastion!Would that I were led to Edom!
12But You have rejected us, O God;God, You do not march with our armies.
13Grant us Your aid against the foe,for human help is worthless.
14We shall triumph with God,who will trample our foes.
