A Song. A Psalm by David. My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

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 measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my 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 armies?
Have not you rejected us, God? You do not go out, God, with our armies.
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
