1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILY OF TESTIMONY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, TO TEACH, IN HIS STRIVING WITH ARAM-NAHARAIM AND WITH ARAM-ZOBAH, WHEN JOAB TURNS BACK AND STRIKES EDOM IN THE VALLEY OF SALT—TWELVE THOUSAND. O God, You had cast us off, || You had broken us—had been angry! You turn back 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 caused the land to tremble, || You have broken it, || Heal its breaches, for it has moved. 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 shown Your people a hard thing, || You have caused us to drink wine of trembling. 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 given an ensign to those fearing You, || To be lifted up as an ensign || Because of 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 drawn out, || 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: I exult—I apportion Shechem, || And I measure the Valley of Succoth, 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, || And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, || Judah [is] My lawgiver, 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 pot for washing, || Over Edom I cast My shoe, || Shout, concerning Me, O Philistia. 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 brings me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who has led 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 Is it not You, O God? Have You cast us off? And do You not go forth, O God, with our hosts? 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 to us help from adversity, || And the deliverance of man [is] vain. 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 We do mightily in God, || And He treads down our adversaries! 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.
