1 (For the one directing. Set to The Shushan of the Edut. Mikhtam Dovid to instruct. 2 When he fought Aram Naharayim and Aram Tzovah and when Yoav returned and struck down 12,000 of Edom in the Gey Melach)
3 O Elohim, Thou hath rejected us, scattered us;
Thou hast been angry; O restore us!
4 Thou hast made eretz to tremble; Thou hast torn it asunder,
heal the fractures thereof; for it tottereth.
5 Thou hast showed Thy people kashah (hard times);
Thou hast made us to drink the yayin of tarelah (bewilderment, reeling).
6 Thou hast set up a nes (banner) to them that fear Thee,
that it may be unfurled on account of the truth.
Selah
7 That Thy Yedidot (beloved ones) may be saved;
save with Thy Yamin (Right Hand) and hear me.
8 Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh (Holiness);
I will exult,
I will parcel Shechem as chelek,
and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.
9 Gil'ad is Mine, and Menasheh is Mine;
Ephrayim also is the ma'oz of Mine Rosh;
Yehudah is My Mekhokek (prescriber of laws, lawgiver).*See Gn 49:10; Isa 42:4 on Moshiachʼs torah
10 Moav is My washpot;
over Edom will I cast My sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.
11 Who will bring me to the Ir Matzon (city of fortification)?
Who will bring me to Edom?
12 Wilt not Thou, O Elohim, which hadst cast us off?
And Thou, O Elohim, which didst not go out with tzivoteinu (our armies)?
13 Give us help against the enemy;
for vain is the teshuat adam (help, salvation of or from Man).
14 In Elohim shall we obtain the victory;
for He it is that shall tread down tzareinu (our enemies, oppressors).
