My Heart Is Fixed, Lord; I Will Sing

1.My heart is fixed, Lord; I will sing,
and with my glory praise.
Awake up psaltery and harp;
myself I'll early raise.

2.I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord;
'mong nations sing will I:
For above heav'n thy mercy's great,
thy truth doth reach the sky.

3.Be thou above the heavens, Lord,
exalted gloriously;
Thy glory all the earth above
be lifted up on high.

4.That those who thy beloved are
delivered may be,
O do thou save with thy right hand,
and answer give to me.

5.God in his holiness hath said,
Herein I will take pleasure;
Shechem I will divide, and forth
will Succoth's valley measure.

6.Gilead I claim as mine by right;
Manasseh mine shall be;
Ephraim is of my head the strength;
Judah gives laws for me;

7.Moab's my washing-pot; my shoe
I'll over Edom throw;
Over the land of Palestine
I will in triumph go.

8.O who is he will bring me to
the city fortified?
O who is he that to the land
of Edom will me guide?

9.O God, thou who hadst cast us off,
this thing wilt thou not do?
And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, O God,
forth with our armies go?

10.Do thou from trouble give us help,
for helpless is man's aid.
Through God we shall do valiantly;
our foes he shall down tread.
