of Gods glory

A song. A psalm of David.

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.
