NEW AMERICAN BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 A song; a psalm of David1 [Song Psalm Of David] My heart is ready, God, I will sing and make music; come, my glory!
2 My heart is steadfast, God; my heart is steadfast. I will sing and chant praise.2 Awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the Dawn!
3 Awake, my soul; awake, lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn.3 I wil praise you among the peoples, Yahweh, I wil play to you among nations,
4 I will praise you among the peoples, LORD; I will chant your praise among the nations.4 for your faithful love towers to heaven, and your constancy to the clouds.
5 For your love towers to the heavens; your faithfulness, to the skies.5 Be exalted above the heavens, God. Your glory over the whole earth!
6 Appear on high over the heavens, God; may your glory appear above all the earth.6 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.
7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.7 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Val ey ofSuccoth.
8 God promised in the sanctuary: "I will exult, I will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.8 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,
9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.9 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal, over Philistia I cry victory.'
10 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal; I will triumph over Philistia."10 Who will lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide me into Edom,
11 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?11 if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.
12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?12 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human assistance is worthless.
13 Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help.13 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample down our enemies.
14 We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes.
