English Standard Version

With God We Shall Do Valiantly

1 A Song. A Psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being!^[1] (Ps 57:7) 2 Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! 3 I 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 above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. (Ps 113:4) 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! 6 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me! (Ps 60:5) 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 scepter. 9 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” (Ps 60:8) 10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Have you not rejected us, O God? You 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.

New International Version

from Biblica

A song. A psalm of David.

1 My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul. 2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 3 I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. 4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. 6 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. 7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: ‘In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. 8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my sceptre. 9 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.’ 10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? 12 Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. 13 With God we shall gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

King James Version

1 A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. 2 Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 3 I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations. 4 For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. 5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; 6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. 7 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 11 Wilt not thou , O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? 12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

New International Reader’s Version

from Biblica

A song. A psalm of David.

1 God, my heart feels secure. I will sing and make music to you with all my heart. 2 Harp and lyre, wake up! I want to sing and make music before the sun rises. 3 LORD, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing about you among the people of the earth. 4 Great is your love. It is higher than the heavens. Your truth reaches to the skies. 5 God, may you be honoured above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth. 6 Save us. Help us with your powerful right hand, so that those you love may be saved. 7 God has spoken from his temple. He has said, ‘I will win the battle. Then I will divide up the land around Shechem. I will divide up the Valley of Sukkoth. 8 Gilead belongs to me, and so does the land of Manasseh. Ephraim is the strongest tribe. It is like a helmet for my head. Judah is the royal tribe. It is like a ruler’s sceptre. 9 Moab serves me like one who washes my feet. I toss my sandal on Edom to show that I own it. I shout to Philistia that I have won the battle.’ 10 Who will bring me to the city that has high walls around it? Who will lead me to the land of Edom? 11 God, isn’t it you, even though you have now turned away from us? Isn’t it you, even though you don’t lead our armies into battle anymore? 12 Help us against our enemies. The help people give doesn’t amount to anything. 13 With your help we will win the battle. You will walk all over our enemies.
