Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; according <05921> to the shushan-eduth style <07802>; a prayer <04387> of David <01732> written to instruct <03925> others. It was written when he fought <05327> against <0854> Aram Naharaim <0763> and Aram-Zobah <0760>. That was when Joab <03097> turned back <07725> and struck down <05221> 12,000 <0505> <06240> <08147> Edomites <0123> in the Valley <01516> of Salt <04417>. O God <0430>, you have rejected <02186> us. You suddenly turned on <06555> us in your anger <0599>. Please restore <07725> us!
2You made the earth <0776> quake <07493>; you split <06480> it open. Repair <07495> its breaches <07667>, for <03588> it is ready to fall <04131>.
3You have made your people <05971> experience <07200> hard <07186> times; you have made us drink <08248> intoxicating <08653> wine <03196>.
4You have given <05414> your loyal followers <03373> a rallying flag <05251>, so that they might seek <05127> safety <07189> from <06440> the bow. (Selah <05542>)
5Deliver <02502> by your power <03225> and answer <06032> me, so that <04616> the ones you love <03039> may be safe <03467>.
6God <0430> has spoken <01696> in his sanctuary <06944>: “I will triumph <05937>! I will parcel out <02505> Shechem <07927>; the Valley <06010> of Succoth <05523> I will measure <04058> off.
7Gilead <01568> belongs to me, as does Manasseh <04519>! Ephraim <0669> is my helmet <07218> <04581>, Judah <03063> my royal scepter <02710>.
8Moab <04124> is my washbasin <07366> <05518>. I will make <07993> Edom <0123> serve <05275> me. I will shout in triumph <07321> over <05921> Philistia <06429>.”
9Who <04310> will lead <02986> me into the fortified <04692> city <05892>? Who <04310> will bring <05148> me to <05704> Edom <0123>?
10Have you <0859> not <03808> rejected <02186> us, O God <0430>? O God <0430>, you do not <03808> go <03318> into battle <03318> with our armies <06635>.
11Give <03051> us help <05833> against the enemy <06862>, for any help <08668> men <0120> might offer is futile <07723>.
12By God’s <0430> power <02428> we will conquer <06213>; he <01931> will trample down <0947> our enemies <06862>.
