| 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. | 1O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. |
| 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. | 2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. |
| 3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. | 3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. |
| 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah |
| 5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. | 5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! |
| 6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. | 6God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. |
| 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; | 7Gilead is mine; 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 cast my shoe; 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? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. |
| 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. | 11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! |
| 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. | 12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. |
