1 O h Dios, tú nos has desechado, nos disipaste; te has airado: vuélvete a nosotros.

To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us.

2 H iciste temblar la tierra, la abriste; sana sus fracturas, porque titubea.

4 H as dado a los que te temen bandera que alcen por la verdad. (Selah.)

5 P ara que se libren tus amados, salva con tu diestra, y óyeme.

6 ¶ Dios pronunció en santidad; yo me alegraré; partiré a Siquem, y mediré el valle de Sucot.

8 M oab, la vasija de mi lavatorio; sobre Edom echaré mi zapato; triunfa por razón de mí, oh Filistea.

10 C iertamente, tú, oh Dios, que nos habías desechado; y tú, oh Dios, que no salías con nuestras armadas.

Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
