For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
2 Diklai na hinghuen tih phak na boe. A tuen vaengkah a hma te hoeih sak lah.
You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
3 Na pilnam te mangkhak la na hmuh tih ngaengainah misurtui te kaimih nan tul.
You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
4 Nang aka rhih ham tah, tiktam hmai la rhaelrham saeh tila rholik na thoh pah. (Selah)
But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
5 Na lungnah rhoek te na bantang neh khang lamtah pumcum uh van saeh. Te dongah kaimih he n'doo lamtah kamah khaw n'doo mai.
Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!

God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead he kai kah tih, Manasseh khaw kamah kah. Ephraim khaw ka lu kah lunghim tih, Judah khaw ka taem.
Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab tah kai kah tuihluknah am ni. Edom soah ka khokhom ka voeih tih Philistia te ka yuhui thil,” a ti.
I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Vongup khopuei la ulong kai n'khuen eh? Edom la ulong kai m'mawt eh?
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Pathen nang loh kaimih nan hlahpham pawt tih Pathen namah te kaimih kah caempuei rhoek taengla na pawk moenih a?
Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
11 Hlang kah loeihnah a poeyoek la a om dongah rhal taengah khaw kai he bomnah m'pae lah.
Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
12 Pathen neh caem ka tloek rhoi vetih ka rhal ka suntlae ni.
Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
