[2] Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. [3] I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. [4] For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. [5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth”.

[7] God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth. [8] Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. [9] Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph.” [10] Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? [11] Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? [12] Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. [13] Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies”.
