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 Long to nang huensak moe, na koihsak boeh; kakoinawk to pacong let ah, anghuen o khing vop.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Nangmah ih kaminawk to karai hmuen na tongsak boeh; anghmanghaih misurtui to nang naeksak boeh.
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)
5 Nang palung kaminawk loisak hanah, ka lok tahngai pae ah loe, na bantang ban hoiah pahlong ah.
That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead loe kai ih ni, Manasseh doeh kai ih ni; Ephraim loe ka lu thacakhaih ah oh moe, Judah loe ka loihhaih ah oh.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
8 Moab loe kam saehhaih sabae kathuk ah oh; Edom nuiah khokpanai ka vah han; Philistin prae nuiah pazawkhaih hoiah ka hangh han, tiah a thuih.
Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
9 Mi mah maw kacak vangpui ah na caeh haih tih? Mi mah maw Edom ah na hoi tih?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae pahnawt kami loe, nang na ai maw? Aw Sithaw, kaicae misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto caehsak ai kami loe, nang na ai maw?
[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11 Kami abomhaih loe azom pui ah oh pongah, raihaih thung hoiah ka loih o thai hanah na bomh ah.
Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
12 Sithaw rang hoiah ka pazawk o hanah, anih mah kaicae ih misanawk to khok hoiah atii pae tih.
Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
