1: I'm ready, God, so ready, ready from head to toe. Ready to sing, ready to raise a God--song:
2: "Wake, soul! Wake, lute! Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!"
3: I'm thanking you, GOD, out in the streets, singing your praises in town and country.
4: The deeper your love, the higher it goes; every cloud's a flag to your faithfulness.
5: Soar high in the skies, O God! Cover the whole earth with your glory!
6: And for the sake of the one you love so much, reach down and help me--answer me!
7: That's when God spoke in holy splendor: "Brimming over with joy, I make a present of Shechem, I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.
8: Gilead's in my pocket, to say nothing of Manasseh. Ephraim's my hard hat, Judah my hammer.
9: Moab's a scrub bucket--I mop the floor with Moab, Spit on Edom, rain fireworks all over Philistia."
10: Who will take me to the thick of the fight? Who'll show me the road to Edom?
11: You aren't giving up on us, are you, God? refusing to go out with our troops?
12: Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless.
13: In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good. A David prayer
