NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 [Song Psalm Of David] My heart is ready, God, I will sing and make music; come, my glory!1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, lyre and harp, I will awake the Dawn!2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
3 I wil praise you among the peoples, Yahweh, I wil play to you among nations,3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
4 for your faithful love towers to heaven, and your constancy to the clouds.4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, God. Your glory over the whole earth!5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
6 To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I wil divide up Shechem, and share out the Val ey ofSuccoth.7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
9 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal, over Philistia I cry victory.'9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who will lead me against a fortified city, who wil guide me into Edom,10 Who will bring me into the strong 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.11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
12 Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human assistance is worthless.12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 With God we shal do deeds of valour, he wil trample down our enemies.13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
