1  ^kMy heart is steadfast, O God!

^lI will sing and make melody with all my being!¹

2  Awake, O harp and lyre!

I will awake the dawn!

3  ^mI will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;

I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4  For your steadfast love is great ⁿabove the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5  ^oBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth!

6  ^pThat your beloved ones may be delivered,

give salvation by your right hand and answer me!

7  God has promised in his holiness:²

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem

and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

8  Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet,

Judah my ^qscepter.

9  Moab is my washbasin;

upon Edom I cast my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10  Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

11  Have you not ^rrejected us, O God?

^sYou do not go out, O God, with our armies.

12  Oh grant us help against the foe,

for vain is the salvation of man!

13  With God we shall do valiantly;

it is he who will tread down our foes.

1  ^sThe Lord says to my Lord:

^t“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2  The Lord sends forth from Zion

your mighty scepter.

^uRule in the midst of your enemies!

3  Your people will offer themselves ^vfreely

on the day of your power,¹

in holy garments;²

from the womb of the morning,

the dew of your youth will be yours.³

4  ^wThe Lord has sworn

and ^xwill not change his mind,

^y“You are a ^zpriest forever

after the order of ^aMelchizedek.”

5  The Lord is ^bat your right hand;

he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6  He will execute ^cjudgment among the nations,

filling them with corpses;

he will ^dshatter chiefs⁴

over the wide earth.

7  He will drink from the brook by the way;

therefore he will lift up his head.
