Opening the chapter…
God, I am very confident in you. I will sing to praise you. It is an honor to wake up and praise you.
I will arise before the sun rises, and I will praise you while I play my harp and my lyre.
I prayed, "God, I will thank you among all the peoples; I will sing to praise you among the nations
because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and you are as faithful in keeping your promises as the clouds are high above the earth.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! Show your glory to people all over the earth!
Answer our prayers and, by your power, help us to defeat our enemies so that we, the people whom you love, may be saved."
God answered our prayers and spoke from his temple, saying, "Because I have conquered your enemies, I will joyfully divide the city of Shechem, and I will distribute among my people the land in the Valley of Sukkoth.
The region of Gilead is mine, the tribe of Manasseh is mine, the tribe of Ephraim is like my helmet, and the tribe of Judah is like my scepter with which I rule.
The region of Moab is like my washbasin; I throw my sandal over the region of Edom to show that it belongs to me; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated the people of the region of Philistia."
Because we want to attack the people of Edom, who will lead my army to their capital city that has strong walls around it?
God, we do not want you to abandon us; we want you to go with us when our army marches out to fight our enemies.
We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
But with you helping us, we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
