| 1To the Chief Musician. Set to “Lily of the Testimony.” A Michtam of David. For teaching. When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again! | 1God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us! |
| 2You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking. | 2You made the earth quake; you broke it open. Repair its fractures, because it has shifted. |
| 3You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion. | 3You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger. |
| 4You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. 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 may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me. | 5So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly! |
| 6God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley 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, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. | 7Gilead belongs to me, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah my scepter. |
| 8Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.” | 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 strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
| 10Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? | 10Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies? |
| 11Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. | 11Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless. |
| 12Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies. | 12Through God we will fight valiantly; and it is he who will crush our enemies. |
