For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
2 Diklai na hinghuen tih phak na boe. A tuen vaengkah a hma te hoeih sak lah.
Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
12 Pathen neh caem ka tloek rhoi vetih ka rhal ka suntlae ni.
Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
