2 I will start playing my harpsbefore the sun rises.
3 I will praise you, Lord,for everyone to hear;I will sing hymns to youin every nation.
4 Your love reaches higherthan the heavens,and your loyalty extendsbeyond the clouds.
5 Our God, may you be honouredabove the heavens;may your glory be seeneverywhere on earth.
6 Answer my prayersand use your powerful armto give us victory.Then the people you lovewill be safe.
7 Our God, from your holy placeyou made this promise:“I will gladly divide upthe city of Shechemand give away Succoth Valleypiece by piece.
8 The lands of Gileadand Manasseh are mine.Ephraim is my war helmet,and Judah is my symbolof royal power.
