To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

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

3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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 may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete 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;

8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

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

10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

1 Vir die musiekleier; op die wysie van: "Die Lelie van die Getuienis." 'n Gedig van Dawid, om te onderrig.

2 Toe hy oorlog gevoer het teen die Arameërs van Mesopot mië en die Arameërs van Soba, en Joab teruggekom en die Edomiete verslaan het in die Soutdal, twaalf duisend.

3 o God, U het ons verstoot, ons vanmekaar geskeur; U was toornig; herstel ons!

4 U het die land laat bewe, dit gekloof; genees sy breuke, want dit wankel!

5 U het u volk harde dinge laat sien; U het ons bedwelmende wyn laat drink.

6 U het aan die wat u vrees, 'n banier gegee, om te vlug vir die boog! Sela.

7 Sodat u bemindes gered mag word; verlos deur u regterhand en verhoor ons!

8 God het gespreek in sy heiligdom: Ek wil jubel, Ek wil Sigem verdeel en die dal van Sukkot afmeet.

9 G¡lead is myne en Manasse is myne, en Efraim is die beskutting van my hoof; Juda is my veldheerstaf.

10 Moab is my waskom; op Edom werp Ek my skoen; jubel oor My, o Filist,a!

11 Wie sal my bring in die versterkte stad? Wie kan my lei tot in Edom?

12 Het U, o God, ons nie verwerp nie? En U trek nie uit, o God, saam met ons leërs nie. [ (Psalms 60:13) Verleen ons hulp teen die vyand, want die mens se hulp is ydelheid. ] [ (Psalms 60:14) In God sal ons kragtige dade doen, en Hy self sal ons vyande vertrap. ]
