The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 {To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
1
You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
2
You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
3
You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)
4
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.
5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
5
Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
6
God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
8
Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
9
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
10
Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
11
Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
12
With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
