1 To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “The Lily of the Testimony.” A Mikhtam of David [intended to record memorable thoughts and] to teach; when he struggled with the Arameans of Mesopotamia and the Arameans of Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us; You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!
2 You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its rifts, for it shakes and totters. You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger and fall. You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 You have set up a banner for those who fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder—a banner to shield them from attack], A banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.
5 That Your beloved ones may be rescued, Save with Your right hand and answer us. That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
6 God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]: “I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east]. God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
7 “Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
8 “Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe [in triumph]; Over Philistia I raise the shout [of victory].” Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Who will bring me into the besieged city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom? Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out with our armies? Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
11 Give us help against the enemy, For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose). Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
12 Through God we will have victory, For He will trample down our enemies. With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
