Morning praise and a prayer for victory

¹A song. A psalm of David. ²My heart is firm, God; I will sing and play songs of praise with all my soul. ³Come awake, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn. ⁴LORD, I will thank you before all peoples; I will sing your praise in every nation. ⁵For your loyal love towers above the heavens, and your faithfulness rises to the clouds. ⁶God, be lifted high above the heavens; let your glory spread over all the earth. ⁷So that those you love may be set free, bring rescue with your right hand and answer me! ⁸God has spoken from his holy place: “I will rejoice as I share out Shechem and mark off the Valley of Succoth. ⁹Gilead belongs to me, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the helmet on my head, Judah the staff of my rule. ¹⁰Moab is my washing bowl; on Edom I toss my sandal; I raise the victor’s shout over Philistia!” ¹¹Who will take me into the walled city? Who will guide me all the way to Edom? ¹²Is it not you, God, who rejected us and no longer march out with our armies? ¹³Help us against the enemy, for any rescue that people can bring is useless. ¹⁴With God on our side we will fight with courage; he is the one who will crush our foes underfoot.
