(A)That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and [a]hear me.

God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice;
I will divide Shechem
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the [b]helmet for My head;
(B)Judah is My lawgiver.
Moab is My washpot;
Over Edom I will cast My shoe;
Over Philistia I will triumph.”

10 (C)Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off?
And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble,
For the help of man is useless.
13 (D)Through God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

Save us and help us with your right hand,(A)
    that those you love may be delivered.
God has spoken(B) from his sanctuary:(C)
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(D)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(E)
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim is my helmet,
    Judah(F) is my scepter.
Moab(G) is my washbasin,
    on Edom(H) I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia(I) I shout in triumph.”

10 Who will bring me to the fortified city?

11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(J)
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(K)
13 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down(L) our enemies.
