Bible in Basic English

5

Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

6

Let your right hand be stretched out for salvation, and give me an answer, so that your loved ones may be safe from danger.

7

This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth.

8

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9

Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

10

Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

11

Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.

12

Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

13

With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.

    “Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth; That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me. God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. ”

    “Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth. That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us. God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom? Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. ”

    “Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth. That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter. Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia." Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom? Haven't you rejected us, God? You don't go forth, God, with our armies. Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain. Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will tread down our enemies. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.”

  • NET

    “Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth! Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. God has spoken in his sanctuary:“I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem, the Valley of Succoth I will measure off. Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.” Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.”
