5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.

9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.
10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.

We will triumph with God's help; he will trample down our enemies.
