New King James VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
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!1For the choir director: according to "The Lily of Testimony." A Davidic Miktam for teaching. When he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, killing 12,000. God, You have rejected us; You have broken out against us; You have been angry. Restore us!
2You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.2You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders.
3You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion.3You have made Your people suffer hardship; You have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
4You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah4You have given a signal flag to those who fear You, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah
5That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.5Save with Your right hand, and answer me, so that those You love may be rescued.
6God has spoken in His holiness: “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth.6God has spoken in His sanctuary:" I will triumph! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver.7Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine, and Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter.
8Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”8Moab is My washbasin. I throw My sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia."
9Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?9Who will bring 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?10God, haven't You rejected us? God, You do not march out with our armies.
11Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.11Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.
12Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.12With God we will perform valiantly; He will trample our foes.
