10 Qui me mènera dans la ville forte? Qui me conduit à Édom?
[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]

God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].

13 Avec Dieu, nous ferons des exploits; Il écrasera nos ennemis.
[But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
