O God, my heart is fixed;
I will sing and give praise,
even with my glory.
² Awake, psaltery and harp:
I myself will awake early.
³ I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people:
and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
⁴ For thy mercy is great above the heavens:
and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
⁵ Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:
and thy glory above all the earth;
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 mete out the valley of Succoth.
⁸ Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;
Judah is my lawgiver;
⁹ Moab is my washpot [pot of my washing];
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 hosts?
¹² Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
¹³ Through Godwe shall do valiantly:
for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
