[I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
4 thi din Miskundhed når til Himlen, din Sandhed til Skyerne.

8 mit er Gilead, mit er Manasse, Efraim er mit Hoveds Værn, Juda min Herskerstav,
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
9 Moab min Vaskeskål, på Edom kaster jeg min Sko, over Filisterland jubler jeg."
the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
10 Hvo bringer mig til den befæstede By, hvo leder mig hen til Edom?
[Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
