Swahili Bible2

108

A Song or Psalm of David.

1O God, my heart is fixed;

I will sing and give praise,

Even with my glory.

2Awake, psaltery and harp:

I myself will awake early.

3I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people:

And I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4For thy mercy is great above the heavens:

And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens:

And thy glory above all the earth.

6That thy beloved may be delivered;

Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

7God hath spoken in his holiness;

I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

And mete out the valley of Succoth.

8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

9Moab is my washpot;

Over Edom will I cast out my shoe;

Over Philistia will I triumph.

10Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who will lead me into Edom?

11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off?

And wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12Give us help from trouble:

For vain is the help of man.

13Through God we shall do valiantly:

For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
