| 1To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. | 1For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us! |
| 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. | 2You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking. |
| 3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. | 3You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink. |
| 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah |
| 5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. | 5Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. |
| 6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. | 6God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. |
| 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; | 7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. |
| 8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. | 8Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” |
| 9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? | 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
| 10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? | 10Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? |
| 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. | 11Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. |
| 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. | 12With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies. |
