1My heart is fixed, O God; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1 O God, my heart is fixed; I will make songs and melody, even with my glory.
2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
2O God, be not thou silent in my praise: for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
2Give out your sounds, O corded instruments: the dawn will be awaking with my song.
3I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the peoples; And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
3They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; and have fought against me without cause.
3I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
4For thy lovingkindness is great above the heavens; And thy truth reacheth unto the skies.
4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
4Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: but I gave myself to prayer.
4For your mercy is higher than the heavens: and your unchanging faith than the clouds.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth.
5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
5And they repaid me evil for good: and hatred for my love.
5Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
6That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
6Set thou the sinner over him: and may the devil stand at his right hand.
6Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.
7God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin.
7This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take.
8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
9Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
9May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.
10Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
10Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
11Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
11May the usurer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours.
11Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
12Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
12Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
13Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
13May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out.
13With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.
