Israel's kingdom blessing

(Psalm 57:1-11; Psalm 60:1-12)
1
A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.
2
Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.
3
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.
4
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 deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
7
God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.
9
Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: 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 trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
13
Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.

Israel's kingdom blessing

(Psalm 57:1-11; Psalm 60:1-12)
1
My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
2
Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.
3
I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
4
For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
5
Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth.
6
That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
7
God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
8
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
9
Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia.”
10
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11
Haven’t you rejected us, God? You don’t go out, God, with our armies.
12
Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
13
Through God, we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our enemies.
