4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner

to be unfurled against the bow.

5 Save us and help us with your right hand,

that those you love may be delivered.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem

and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet,

Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab is my washbasin,

on Edom I toss my sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,

That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5 That thy beloved may be delivered;

Save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness;

I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

And mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

8 Moab is my washpot;

Over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—

a rallying point in the face of attack.

5 Now rescue your beloved people.

Answer and save us by your power.

6 God has promised this by his holiness:

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.

I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine,

and Manasseh, too.

Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,

and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,

and I will wipe my feet on Edom

and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

4 You have given a banner to those who fear You,

That it may be displayed because of the truth.
