| 1For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry; O, restore us. | 1God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us! |
| 2You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its breaches, for it totters. | 2You made the earth quake; you broke it open. Repair its fractures, because it has shifted. |
| 3You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger. | 3You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger. |
| 4You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4But you have given a banner to those who fear you, so they may display it in honor of truth. Interlude |
| 5That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and answer us! | 5So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly! |
| 6God has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth. | 6Then God spoke in his holiness, "I will rejoice— I will divide Shechem; I will portion out the Succoth Valley. |
| 7"Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. | 7Gilead belongs to me, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah my scepter. |
| 8"Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Shout loud, O Philistia, because of Me!" | 8Moab is my wash basin; over Edom I will throw my shoes; over Philistia I will celebrate my triumph." |
| 9Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
| 10Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies, O God? | 10Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies? |
| 11O give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain. | 11Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless. |
| 12Through God we shall do valiantly, And it is He who will tread down our adversaries. | 12Through God we will fight valiantly; and it is he who will crush our enemies. |
