1. I am determined, O God!I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.
2. Awake, O stringed instrument and harp!I will wake up at dawn!
3. I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord!I will sing praises to you before foreigners!
4. For your loyal love extends beyond the sky,and your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
5. Rise up above the sky, O God!May your splendor cover the whole earth!
6. Deliver by your power and answer me,so that the ones you love may be safe.
7. God has spoken in his sanctuary:“I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem,the valley of Succoth I will measure off.
8. Gilead belongs to me,as does Manasseh!Ephraim is my helmet,Judah my royal scepter.
