God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

عِندَما حارَبَ أَرامَ النَّهرَين وأَرامَ صوبة، فرَجَعَ يوآبُ وضَرَبَ أدومَ في وادي المِلْح، وكانوا ٱثنَي عَشَرَ أَلْفًا

أَللَّهُمَّ نَبَذتَنا وكَسَرتَنا وغَضِبتَ، ولٰكِن عُدْ إِلَينا

زَلزَلتَ الأَرضَ وصَدَّعتَها إِنَّها مُتَزَعزِعَةٌ فَداوِ صُدوعَها

أَرَيتَ شَعبَكَ الشَّدائِد وسَقَيتَنا خَمرَ التَّرَنُّح

أَعطَيتَ مُتَّقيكَ رايةً لِيَهرُبوا مِن وَجهِ الأَقْواس. سِلاه

لِكَي يَخلُصَ أَحِبُّاؤُكَ خَلِّص بِيَمينِكَ وٱستَجِبْ لَنا

أَللهُ تَكَلَّمَ في قُدسِه: فأَبتَهِجُ وأُقَسِّمُ شَكيم وأَقيسُ وادِيَ سُكُّوت

لي جِلْعادُ ولي مَنَسَّى وأَفْرائيمُ خُوذَةُ رأسي ويَهوذا صَولَجانُ مُلْكي

موآبُ وِعاءٌ أَغتَسِلُ فيه على أَدومَ أُلْقي نَعْلي. على فَلِسطينَ هُتافُ ٱنتِصاري

إِلى المَدينةِ الحَصينةِ مَن يَقودُني وإِلى أَدومَ مَن يَهْديني

إِلَّا أَنتَ يا أَللهُ الَّذي نَبَذتَنا ولم تَخرُجْ يا أَللهُ وجُيوشَنا؟

هَبْ لَنا نُصرَةً على المُضايِق فالخَلاصُ مِنَ الإِنسانِ عَدَم

بِبَأسٍ نَعمَلُ بِعَونِ الله وهو يَدوسُ مُضايِقينا
