KING JAMES BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.1 [Song Psalm Of David] My heart is ready, God, I will sing and make music; come, my glory!
2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.2 Awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the Dawn!
3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.3 I wil praise you among the peoples, Yahweh, I wil play to you among nations,
4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.4 for your faithful love towers to heaven, and your constancy to the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;5 Be exalted above the heavens, God. Your glory over the whole earth!
6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.6 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.
7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.7 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Val ey ofSuccoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;8 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,
9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.9 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal, over Philistia I cry victory.'
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?10 Who will lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide 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?11 if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.12 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human assistance is worthless.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.13 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample down our enemies.
