5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer me.

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

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

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 armies?

13 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
