New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!
1
To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us.
2 You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
2
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
3 You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
3
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.
4
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.
5 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
5
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
6
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
7
Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
8 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
8
Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
9
Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
10
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
11 Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
11
Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance of man.
12 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
12
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
