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 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。
