{For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.} God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
|
|
To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David. For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt.
|
|
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
|
| |
| 2. |
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
|
|
God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.
|
|
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
|
| |
| 3. |
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
|
|
By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.
|
|
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
|
| |
| 4. |
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
|
|
You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.
|
|
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
|
| |
| 5. |
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
|
|
Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)
|
|
That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
|

God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
|
|
So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.
|
|
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
|
| |
| 7. |
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
|
|
God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.
|
|
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
|
| |
| 8. |
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."
|
|
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
|
|
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
|
| |
| 9. |
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
|
|
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.
|
|
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
|
| |
| 10. |
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.
|
|
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?
|
|
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
|
| |
| 11. |
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
|
|
Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.
|
|
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
|
| |
| 12. |
Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
|
|
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
|
|
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
