May the desert tribes bow down to him. May his enemies lick the dust.

住在旷野的，必在他面前下拜；他的仇敌必要舔土。

住在旷野的必在他面前下拜，他的仇敌必要舔土。

住在旷野的必在他面前下拜，他的仇敌必要舔土。

愿旷野的居民都来向他下拜，敌人都扑倒在尘土中。

住在旷野的人必向他屈身，他的仇敌必舔尘土。

旷野的走兽将在他面前屈身，他的仇敌将舔食尘土。

住在曠野的，必在他面前下拜；他的仇敵必要舔土。

住在曠野的必在他面前下拜，他的仇敵必要舔土。

住在曠野的必在他面前下拜，他的仇敵必要舔土。

願曠野的居民都來向他下拜，敵人都仆倒在塵土中。

住在曠野的人必向他屈身，他的仇敵必舔塵土。

願他的敵人在他面前屈身；願他的仇敵餂着塵土。

曠野的走獸將在他面前屈身，他的仇敵將舔食塵土。

居於野者必跽其前、其敵舐土兮、

居荒服者、拜跪於前、為仇敵者、望塵俯伏兮、

居於曠野者必跪於其前、其仇敵必伏於塵埃、

遐荒賓服。頑敵候途。

May desert tribes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust!

Desert nomads will bow before him; his enemies will fall before him in the dust.

May desert tribes kneel before him and his enemies lick the dust.

May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.

Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, And His enemies will lick the dust.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; And his enemies shall lick the dust.

Their kings will become like fathers to you. Their queens will be like mothers who nurse you. They will bow down to you with their faces toward the ground. They will kiss the dust at your feet to show you their respect. Then you will know that I am the Lord. Those who put their hope in me will not be ashamed.”

They’ll be forced to eat dust like a snake. They’ll be like creatures that have to crawl on the ground. They’ll come out of their dens trembling with fear. They’ll show respect for the Lord our God. They will also have respect for his people.

There were still many people left in the land who weren’t Israelites. They included Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.They were children of the people who had lived in the land before the Israelites came. Those people had been set apart to the Lord in a special way to be destroyed. But the Israelites hadn’t been able to kill all of them. Solomon forced them to work very hard as his slaves. And they still work for Israel as slaves to this day.

All rich people of the earth will feast and worship God. All who go down to the grave will kneel in front of him. Those who cannot keep themselves alive will kneel.

And what about my enemies who did not want me to be king over them? Bring them here! Kill them in front of me!’ ”

The Lord says to my lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.”

You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.When you appear for battle, you will burn them up like they were in a flaming furnace. The Lord will swallow them up in his great anger. His fire will burn them up.

He will judge the nations. He will pile up dead bodies on the field of battle. He will crush the rulers of the whole earth.

and Baalath. He built up Tadmor in the desert. All those towns were in his land.

The desert and the dry ground will be glad. The dry places will be full of joy. Flowers will grow there. Like the first crocus in the spring,the desert will bloom with flowers. It will be very glad and shout for joy. The glorious beauty of Lebanon will be given to it. It will be as beautiful as the rich lands of Carmel and Sharon. Everyone will see the glory of the Lord. They will see the beauty of our God.

You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like clay pots.”
