1 A song or Psalme of Dauid. O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing & giue praise, euen with my glory.
2 Awake psaltery and harpe: I my selfe will awake early.
3 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I wil sing praises vnto thee among the nations.
4 For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens: and thy trueth reacheth vnto the clouds.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, aboue the heauens: and thy glory aboue all the earth:
6 That thy beloued may bee deliuered: saue with thy right hand, and answere me.
7 God hath spoken in his holinesse, I wil reioyce, I will diuide Shechem: and mete out the valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, Ephraim also is the strength of mine head: Iudah is my Lawgiuer.
9 Moab is my wash pot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shooe: ouer Philistia will I triumph.
10 Who wil bring me into the strong citie? who will leade me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast vs off? and wilt not thou, O God, goe foorth with our hostes?
12 Giue vs helpe from trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13 Through God wee shall doe valiantly: for hee it is that shall tread downe our enemies.
- We may usefully select passages from different psalms, as here, #Ps 57; 60|, to help our devotions, and enliven our gratitude. When the heart is firm in faith and love, the tongue, being employed in grateful praises, is our glory. Every gift of the Lord
