New Living Translation NLT
1 (59-1) <Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, (59-2) When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal: and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men.> (59-3) O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
1
You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2 (59-4) Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
2
You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 (59-5) Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.
3
You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 (59-6) Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
4
But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5 (59-7) Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
5
Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.
6 (59-8) God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
6
God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 (59-9) Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8 (59-10) Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.
8
But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 (59-11) 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 (59-12) Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
10
Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?
11 (59-13) Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
11
Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
12 (59-14) Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
12
With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
