When he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, killing 12,000. God, You have rejected us; You have broken out against us; You have been angry. Restore us! |
2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. | 2You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders. |
3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. | 3You have made Your people suffer hardship; You have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. |
4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah | 4You have given a signal flag to those who fear You, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah |
5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! | 5Save with Your right hand, and answer me, so that those You love may be rescued. |
6God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. | 6God has spoken in His sanctuary:" I will triumph! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth. |
7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. | 7Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine, and Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter. |
8Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” | 8Moab is My washbasin. I throw My sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia." |
9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
10Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. | 10God, haven't You rejected us? God, You do not march out with our armies. |
11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! | 11Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless. |
12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. | 12With God we will perform valiantly; He will trample our foes. |
