108

Paratum cor meumBCP p. 749

1My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *I will sing and make melody.

2Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; *I myself will waken the dawn.

3I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *I will sing praises to you among the nations.

4For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *and your glory over all the earth.

6So that those who are dear to you may be delivered, *save with your right hand and answer me.

7God spoke from his holy place and said, *“I will exult and parcel out Shechem; I will divide the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

9Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *and over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”

10Who will lead me into the strong city? *who will bring me into Edom?

11Have you not cast us off, O God? *you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

12Grant us your help against the enemy, *for vain is the help of man.

13With God we will do valiant deeds, *and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
