King James Version

7

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

8

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

9

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

11

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

12

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

13

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

    “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. ”

    “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

    “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.”

    “When he is judged, may he go out condemned; and may his prayer be turned to sin. May his days be few: and his bishopric let another take. May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; and let them be cast out of their dwellings. May the usurer search all his substance: and let strangers plunder his labours. May there be none to help him: nor none to pity his fatherless offspring. May his posterity be cut off; in one generation may his name be blotted out. May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: because he remembered not to shew mercy, But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; and the broken in heart, to put him to death. And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him. And he put on cursing, like a garment: and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones. May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; and like a girdle with which he is girded continually. This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; and who speak evils against my soul. But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is sweet. Do thou deliver me, For I am poor and needy, and my heart is troubled within me. I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: and I am shaken off as locusts. My knees are weakened through fasting: and my flesh is changed for oil. And I am become a reproach to them: they saw me and they shaked their heads. Help me, O Lord my God; save me; according to thy mercy. And let them know that this is thy hand: and that thou, O Lord, hast done it. They will curse and thou wilt bless: let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice. Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak. I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: and in the midst of many I will praise him. Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, to save my soul from persecutors. ”

    “This is the word of the holy God: I will be glad; I will make Shechem a heritage, measuring out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry. Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom? Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies. Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man. With God we will do great things; for by him will our haters be crushed underfoot.”

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?
