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.

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

10 {Wilt} not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

1 神啊! 你丢弃了我们, 击碎了我们; 你曾向我们发怒, 现在求你复兴我们。

2 你使地震动、崩裂, 求你修补裂缝, 因为地正在摇动。

3 你使你的子民遇见艰苦; 你使我们喝那令人东倒西歪的酒。

4 你为敬畏你的人, 竖起旗帜, 使他们可以逃到那里, 躲避敌人的弓箭("使他们可以逃到那里, 躲避敌人的弓箭"或译: "可以为真理扬起来")。(细拉)

5 求你用右手拯救我们, 应允我们, 好使你所喜爱的人得拯救。

6 神在自己的圣所(" 神在自己的圣所"或译: " 神指着自己的圣洁")说: "我必夸胜, 我必分开示剑, 我必量度疏割谷。

7 基列是我的, 玛拿西是我的; 以法莲是我的头盔; 犹大是我的权杖。

8 摩押是我的洗脚盆; 我要向以东拋鞋; 我要因战胜非利士欢呼(本句按照《马索拉抄本》应作"非利士啊, 你要因我的缘故欢呼"; 现参照叙利亚抄本翻译)。"

9 谁能带我进坚固城?谁能领我到以东地去呢?

10 神啊! 你不是把我们丢弃了吗? 神啊! 你不和我们的军队一同出战吗?

11 求你帮助我们抵挡敌人, 因为人的援助是没有用的。

12 我们靠着 神奋勇作战, 因为他必践踏我们的敌人。
