David's heart is steadfast, and he will sing and give thanks. The psalm combines parts of Psalms 57 and 60, praising God's steadfast love and asking for his help against enemies.
1 A Song or Psalm of David . O God , my heart is fixed ; I will sing and give praise , even with my glory .
2 Awake , psaltery and harp : I myself will awake early .
3 I will praise thee, O LORD , among the people : and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations .
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens : and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds .
5 Be thou exalted , O God , above the heavens : and thy glory above all the earth ;
6 That thy beloved may be delivered : save with thy right hand , and answer me.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness ; I will rejoice , I will divide Shechem , and mete out the valley of Succoth .
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head ; Judah is my lawgiver ;
9 Moab is my washpot ; over Edom will I cast out my shoe ; over Philistia will I triumph .
10 Who will bring me into the strong city ? who will lead me into Edom ?
11 Wilt not thou, O God , who hast cast us off ? and wilt not thou, O God , go forth with our hosts ?
12 Give us help from trouble : for vain is the help of man .
13 Through God we shall do valiantly : for he it is that shall tread down our enemies .
