| 1 For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry; O, restore us. | 1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. | 1 [For the choir director; according to [shushan eduth]; a [miktam] by David; for teaching. When David fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and [when] Joab came back and killed 12,000 men from Edom in the Dead Sea region.] O God, you have rejected us. You have broken down our defenses. You have been angry. Restore us! | 1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again. | 1 {To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again. | 2 You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its breaches, for it totters. | 2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. | 2 You made the land quake. You split it wide open. Heal the cracks in it because it is falling apart. | 2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes. | 2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. | 3 You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger. | 3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. | 3 You have made your people experience hardships. You have given us wine that makes us stagger. | 3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. | 3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment. | 4 You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4 Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you so that they can rally to it when attacked by bows [and arrows]. [Selah] | 4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. | 4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,) | 5 That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and answer us! | 5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. | 5 Save [us] with your powerful hand, and answer us so that those who are dear to you may be rescued. | 5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. | 5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

He will trample our enemies. | 12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries. For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. | 12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries. |
