| 1O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. | 1God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us! |
| 2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. | 2You made the earth quake; you broke it open. Repair its fractures, because it has shifted. |
| 3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. | 3You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger. |
| 4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah | 4But you have given a banner to those who fear you, so they may display it in honor of truth. Interlude |
| 5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! | 5So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly! |
| 6God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. | 6Then God spoke in his holiness, "I will rejoice— I will divide Shechem; I will portion out the Succoth Valley. |
| 7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. | 7Gilead belongs to me, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah my scepter. |
| 8Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” | 8Moab is my wash basin; over Edom I will throw my shoes; over Philistia I will celebrate my triumph." |
| 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will lead 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. | 10Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies? |
| 11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! | 11Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless. |
| 12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. | 12Through God we will fight valiantly; and it is he who will crush our enemies. |
