A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my I will sing and giue praise.
2
Awake viole and I will awake early.
3
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.

For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.
5
Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,
6
That thy beloued may be helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7
God hath spoken in his therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9
Moab shalbe my ouer Edom wil I cast out my vpon Palestina wil I triumph.
10
Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
11
Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?
12
Giue vs helpe against for vaine is the helpe of man.
13
Through God we shall doe for he shall treade downe our enemies.
