(A song and a psalm by David.)
With God on Our Side
1 Our God, I am faithful to you
with all my heart,
and you can trust me.
I will sing
and play music for you
with all that I am.
2 I will start playing my harps
before the sun rises.
3 I will praise you, Lord,
for everyone to hear;
I will sing hymns to you
in every nation.
4 Your love reaches higher
than the heavens,
and your loyalty extends
beyond the clouds.
5 Our God, may you be honored
above the heavens;
may your glory be seen
everywhere on earth.
6 Answer my prayers
and use your powerful arm
to give us victory.
Then the people you love
will be safe.
7 Our God, from your holy place
you made this promise:
“I will gladly divide up
the city of Shechem
and give away Succoth Valley
piece by piece.
8 The lands of Gilead
and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
and Judah is my symbol
of royal power.
9 Moab is merely my washbasin,
and Edom belongs to me.
I shout with victory
over the Philistines.”
10 Our God, who will bring me
to the fortress
or lead me to Edom?
11 Have you rejected us?
You don't lead our armies.
12 Help us defeat our enemies!
No one else can rescue us.
13 Only you give us victory
and crush our enemies.

(Ps 57:8–12Ps 60:7–14)1 Dziesma. Dāvida psalms .
2 Droša man sirds, Dievs,
dziedāšu es un spēlēšu – es un mans gods!
3 Mostieties, arfa un cītara, atmodināšu rīta ausmu!
4 Teikšu tevi starp ļaudīm, mans Kungs,
skandēšu tevi starp tautām,
5 jo liela pār debesīm tava žēlastība
un līdz mākoņiem tava patiesība!
6 Pacelies pār debesīm, Dievs,
un pār visu zemi lai ir tava godība!
7 Palīdzi mums ar savu labo roku un uzklausi mani,
tad tavi mīļotie būs glābti!
8 Dievs runā no savas svētnīcas:
es līksmošos! Es sadalīšu Šehemu,
un Lieveņu ieleju es izmērošu!
9 Man pieder Gileāda, un man pieder Manase,
Efraims ir mana bruņucepure,
Jūda – mans zizlis!
10 Moābs ir mans mazgājamais kubls!
Edomam es uzsviežu savu sandali!
Filistija brēc manis dēļ!
11 Kas mani ievedīs nocietinātajā pilsētā,
kas var mani vadīt uz Edomu?
12 Vai tu, Dievs, esi atmetis mūs,
vai nenāksi līdzi, Dievs, mūsu karapulkiem?
13 Palīdzi mums pret naidniekiem,
pie cilvēkiem tverties – blēņas vien!
14 Ar Dievu mēs jaudāsim,
viņš samīdīs mūsu naidniekus!
