He Will Tread Down Our Adversaries

¹My heart is set, O God;

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

²Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

³I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

⁴For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the skies.

⁵Be exalted above the heavens, O God,

And Your glory above all the earth.

⁶That Your beloved may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

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

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁸“Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;

Judah is My scepter.

⁹“Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will make a loud shout.”

¹⁰¶Who will bring me into the well-defended city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have You, O God, not rejected us?

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

¹²Oh give us help against the adversary,

For salvation by man is worthless.

¹³Through God we shall do valiantly,[#108:13 Or In , With]

And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
