Praise and Supplication to God for Victory.

¹O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith];

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

²Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

³I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord , among the people;

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

⁴For Your lovingkindness is great and higher than the heavens;

Your truth reaches to the skies. [Ps 57:7-11]

⁵Be exalted [in majesty], O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

⁶That Your beloved [ones] may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

⁷¶God has spoken in His holiness:[#108:7 Or sanctuary .]

“I will rejoice, I will portion out Shechem [as I divide Canaan among My people],

And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

⁸“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head [My stronghold, My defense];

Judah is My scepter. [Gen 49:10]

⁹“Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I will throw My shoe [to show Edom is Mine];

Over Philistia I will shout [in triumph].”

¹⁰¶Who will bring me into the fortified city [of Petra]?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have You not rejected us, O God?

And will You not go out, O God, with our armies?

¹²Give us help against the adversary,

For deliverance by man is in vain [a worthless hope].

¹³With God we will do valiantly,[#108:13 Or In or Through .]

For it is He who will trample down our enemies. [Ps 60:5-12]
