A Song, a Psalm of David.
My heart is fixed, O God;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
Awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will {Or, awake the dawn}awake right early.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples;
And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

And thy glory above all the earth.

Save with thy right hand, and answer {Another reading is, me.}us.

Judah is my {Or, lawgiver}sceptre.
Moab is my washpot;
{Or, Unto}Upon Edom will I cast my shoe;
Over Philistia will I shout.
Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who {Or, will lead me &c.}hath led me unto Edom?
{Or, Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off, And goest…hosts?}Hast not thou cast us off, O God?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
Give us help against the adversary;
For vain is the {Hebrew: salvation.}help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly:
For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
