Berean Study Bible | International Standard Version |
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! | 1God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us! |
2You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking. | 2You made the earth quake; you broke it open. Repair its fractures, because it has shifted. |
3You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink. | 3You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger. |
4You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah | 4But you have given a banner to those who fear you, so they may display it in honor of truth. Interlude |
5Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. | 5So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly! |
6God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. | 6Then God spoke in his holiness, "I will rejoice— I will divide Shechem; I will portion out the Succoth Valley. |
7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. | 7Gilead belongs to me, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah my scepter. |
8Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” | 8Moab is my wash basin; over Edom I will throw my shoes; over Philistia I will celebrate my triumph." |
9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
10Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? | 10Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies? |
11Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. | 11Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless. |
12With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies. | 12Through God we will fight valiantly; and it is he who will crush our enemies. |
