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

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; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

⁸ Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.

⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

¹⁰ Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

¹¹ Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

² O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

³ From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me:

⁴ because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

⁵ I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.

⁶ For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

⁷ Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.

⁸ He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

⁹ So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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.

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.

² From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

³ because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

⁴ I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause.

⁵ For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

⁶ You shall add days to the days of the king; you shall lengthen his years to all generations.

⁷ He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

⁸ Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.

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

¹⁰ Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

¹¹ Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.

² When we were defeated, it was as though MET there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, just as only you can cause the cracks in the land to disappear, help our army to be strong again, because it is as though our country is ◄falling apart/being destroyed►.

³ You have caused us, your people, to suffer very much; it is as though you forced us to drink strong wine that caused us to stagger around after we became drunk.

⁴ But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not be killed by the enemies' arrows.

⁵ Answer our prayers and enable us by your power MTY to defeat our enemies in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”

⁶ Then God answered my prayer and spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered your enemies, I will divide up everything in Shechem city, and I will distribute it among my people the land in Succoth Valley.

⁷ The Gilead region is mine; the people of the tribe of Manasseh are mine; the tribe of Ephraim is like my helmet MET; and the tribe of Judah is like the ◄scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler► MET;

⁸ but the Moab region is like my washbasin MET; I throw my sandal in the Edom area to show that it belongs to me; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated the people of the Philistia area.”

⁹ Because I want to defeat the people of Edom, ◄who will lead my army triumphantly to their capital city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my army triumphantly to their capital city that has strong walls around it.►” RHQ

¹⁰ So, God, we desire/hope that RHQ you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out to fight our enemies.

¹¹ We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.

² From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

³ because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

⁴ I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause.

⁵ For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

⁶ You shall add days to the days of the king; you shall lengthen his years to all generations.

⁷ He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

⁸ So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

³ You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

⁴ Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

⁵ So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

⁶ God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

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 washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

⁴ For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

⁵ In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

⁶ For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

⁷ Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

⁸ He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

⁹ So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

⁵ That thy darlings be delivered; make thou safe with thy right hand, and hear thou me. (Save thy dear ones; yea, save thou us with thy right hand, and answer thou me.)

⁶ God spake by his holy (place); I shall be glad, and I shall part Shechem, and I shall mete the great valley of tabernacles. (God spoke in his holiness or God spoke from his sanctuary, and he said, I shall be glad, and I shall divide Shechem; and I shall measure out the Succoth Valley.)

⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of mine head. Judah is my king; (Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my sceptre.)

⁸ Moab is the pot of mine hope. Into Idumea I shall stretch forth my shoe; aliens be made subject to me. (But Moab is my washbowl. And I shall throw my shoes at Edom; and Philistia shall be made subject to me.)

⁹ Who shall lead me into a city made strong; who shall lead me into Idumea? (Who shall lead me into the strengthened, or the fortified, city? who shall lead me unto Edom?)

¹⁰ Whether not thou, God, that hast put away us; and shalt thou not, God, go out in our virtues? (Shalt not thou, O God, even though thou hast cast us off, or rejected us? or shalt not thou, O God, go out with our hosts, or our armies, any more?)

¹¹ Lord, give thou to us help (out) of tribulation; for the help of man is vain. (Lord, give thou us help in the time of trouble; for the help of man is worthless, yea, but an empty hope.)

² Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.

³ Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.

⁴ Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.

⁵ That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us.

⁶ God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

⁷ Mine is Gilead, and mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver,

⁸ Moab is my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.

⁹ Who doth bring me to a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?

¹⁰ Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!

¹¹ Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the deliverance of man.
