[1] God, my heart feels secure. I will sing and make music to you with all my heart. [2] Harp and lyre, wake up! I want to sing and make music before the sun rises. [3] LORD, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing about you among the people of the earth. [4] Great is your love. It is higher than the heavens. Your truth reaches to the skies. [5] God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth. [6] Save us. Help us with your powerful right hand, so that those you love may be saved. [7] God has spoken from his temple. He has said, “I will win the battle. Then I will divide up the land around Shechem. I will divide up the Valley of Sukkoth. [8] Gilead belongs to me, and so does the land of Manasseh. Ephraim is the strongest tribe. It is like a helmet for my head. Judah is the royal tribe. It is like a ruler’s scepter. [9] Moab serves me like one who washes my feet. I toss my sandal on Edom to show that I own it. I shout to Philistia that I have won the battle.” [10] Who will bring me to the city that has high walls around it? Who will lead me to the land of Edom? [11] God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us? Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore? [12] Help us against our enemies. The help people give doesn’t amount to anything. [13] With your help we will win the battle. You will walk all over our enemies.
