King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
1
You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
2
You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
3
You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
4
But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
5
Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
6
God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
8
But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
9
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
10
Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
11
Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
12
With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
