1 To the overseer upon the lily of song: poem to David to teach; In the setting on fire Aram of the two rivers, and Aram of the station; and Joab will turn back and strike Edom in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou didst cast us off, thou didst break us down, thou wert angry; wilt thou 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 Thou didst shake the earth; thou didst rend it: heal its breakings, for it is depressed. 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 Thou didst cause thy people to see a hard thing: thou didst give us to drink the wine of reeling. 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 Thou gavest a signal to those fearing thee, to flee from the face of the bow. Silence. 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 So that thy beloved ones shall be delivered, save with thy 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 spake in his holy place; I will rejoice, I will divide the shoulder, and I will measure the valley of booths. 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 to me, and Manasseh to me; and Ephraim the strength of my head; Judah my judge. 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 the pot of my washing; over Edom I will cast out my shoe: for me, Philistia shouted for joy. 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 to the city of fortification? who guided me even 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 Wilt not thou, O God? thou didst cast us off, and wilt thou not go forth, O God, 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 to us help from straits, for vain the salvation of man. 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 In God we will do strength and he will tread 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.
