Israel's kingdom blessing

(Psalm 57:1-11; Psalm 60:1-12)
1
God, I am very confident in you. I will sing to praise you. It is an honor to wake up and praise you.
2
I will arise before the sun rises, and I will praise you while I play my harp and my lyre.
3
I prayed, “Yahweh, I will thank you among all the people groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations
4
because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and you are as faithful in keeping your promises as the clouds are high above the earth.
5
Yahweh, show in the heavens that you are very great! Show your glory to people all over the earth!
6
Answer our prayers and, by your power, help us to defeat our enemies so that we, the people whom you love, may be saved.”
7
Yahweh answered our prayers and spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered your enemies, I will joyfully divide the city of Shechem, and I will distribute among my people the land in the Valley of Succoth.
8
The region of Gilead is mine; the people of the tribe of Manasseh are mine; and the tribe of Judah is like my scepter.
9
The region of Moab is like my washbasin; I throw my sandal over the region of Edom to show that it belongs to me; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated the people of the region of Philistia.”
10
Because we want to attack the people of Edom, who will lead my army to their capital city that has strong walls around it?
11
God, we do not want you to abandon us; we want you to go with us when our army marches out to fight our enemies.
12
We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
13
But with you helping us, we shall win; you will enable us to defeat 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.
