7God has spoken from His sanctuary:a
“I will triumph!
I will parcel out Shechem
and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7God has spoken from His holy place: “I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8Unto Me is Gilead, unto Me is Manasseh; and Ephraim is the strength of My head, Judah is My scepter.
9Moab is My washbasin;
upon Edom I toss My sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?
11Have You not rejected us, O God?
Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11Have You not, O God, cast us off? And will You no longer go forth, O God, with our armies?
12Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.
12May You give to us help from adversity, and the salvation of man is emptiness.
13With God we will perform with valor,
and He will trample our enemies.
13With God we will act in strength, and He will trample our adversaries.
