1 My heart is fix'd, Lord; I will sing,and with my glory praise.
2 Awake up psaltery and harp;myself I'll early raise.
3 I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;'mong nations sing will I:
4 For above heav'n thy mercy's great,thy truth doth reach the sky.
5 Be thou above the heavens, Lord,exalted gloriously;Thy glory all the earth abovebe lifted up on high.
6 That those who thy beloved aredelivered may be,O do thou save with thy right hand,and answer give to me.
7 God in his holiness hath said,Herein I will take pleasure;Shechem I will divide, and forthwill Succoth's valley measure.
8 Gilead I claim as mine by right;Manasseh mine shall be;Ephraim is of my head the strength;Judah gives laws for me;
9 Moab's my washing-pot; my shoeI'll over Edom throw;Over the land of PalestineI will in triumph go.
10 O who is he will bring me tothe city fortify'd?O who is he that to the landof Edom will me guide?
11 O God, thou who hadst cast us off,this thing wilt thou not do?And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, O God,forth with our armies go?
12 Do thou from trouble give us help,for helpless is man's aid.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly;our foes he shall down tread.
