1God, you have rejected us; you have broken us down; you have been angry. Restore us! | 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. |
2You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders. | 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. |
3You have made your people suffer hardship; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. | 3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. |
4You have given a signal flag to those who fear you, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah | 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. |
5Save with your right hand, and answer me, so that those you love may be rescued. | 5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. |
6God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will celebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth. | 6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
7Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. | 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
8Moab is my washbasin. I throw my sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia." | 8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. |
9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | 9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
10God, haven't you rejected us? God, you do not march out with our armies. | 10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? |
11Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless. | 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
12With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes. | 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. |
