The text of the psalm
לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל־שׁוּשַׁן עֵדוּת מִכְתָּם לְדָוִד לְלַמֵּֽד׃
For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;
בְּהַצּוֹתוֹ אֶת אֲרַם נַהֲרַיִם וְאֶת־אֲרַם צוֹבָה וַיָּשָׁב יוֹאָב וַיַּךְ אֶת־אֱדוֹם בְּגֵיא־מֶלַח שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר אָֽלֶף׃
when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
אֱלֹהִים זְנַחְתָּנוּ פְרַצְתָּנוּ אָנַפְתָּ תְּשׁוֹבֵב לָֽנוּ׃
O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
הִרְעַשְׁתָּה אֶרֶץ פְּצַמְתָּהּ רְפָה שְׁבָרֶיהָ כִי־מָֽטָה׃
Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; Heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
הִרְאִיתָה עַמְּךָ קָשָׁה הִשְׁקִיתָנוּ יַיִן תַּרְעֵלָֽה׃
Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
נָתַתָּה לִּירֵאֶיךָ נֵּס לְהִתְנוֹסֵס מִפְּנֵי קֹשֶׁט סֶֽלָה׃
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
לְמַעַן יֵחָלְצוּן יְדִידֶיךָ הוֹשִׁיעָה יְמִינְךָ וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃
That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
אֱלֹהִים דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ אֶעְלֹזָה אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃
God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; That I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
לִי גִלְעָד וְלִי מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם מָעוֹז רֹאשִׁי יְהוּדָה מְחֹֽקְקִי׃
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
מוֹאָב סִיר רַחְצִי עַל־אֱדוֹם אַשְׁלִיךְ נַעֲלִי עָלַי פְּלֶשֶׁת הִתְרֹעָֽעִֽי׃
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
מִי יֹבִלֵנִי עִיר מָצוֹר מִי נָחַנִי עַד־אֱדֽוֹם׃
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
הֲלֹא־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים זְנַחְתָּנוּ וְלֹא־תֵצֵא אֱלֹהִים בְּצִבְאוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
הָבָה־לָּנוּ עֶזְרָת מִצָּר וְשָׁוְא תְּשׁוּעַת אָדָם׃
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
בֵּאלֹהִים נַעֲשֶׂה־חָיִל וְהוּא יָבוּס צָרֵֽינוּ׃
Through God we shall do valiantly; For He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
