10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted;

propose your plan, but it will not stand,

for God is with us.

10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought;

Speak the word, and it shall not stand:

For God is with us.

10 Call your councils of war, but they will be worthless.

Develop your strategies, but they will not succeed.

For God is with us!”

10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;

Speak the word, but it will not stand,

For God is with us.”

10 Make your plans for the fight,

but they will be defeated.

Give orders to your armies,

but they will be useless,

because God is with us.

10 Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

10 Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand: for •God is with us.

10 Make plans for battle, but they will never succeed. 

Give orders, but they won’t be carried out, 

because God is with us! 

10 Devise a plan; it will fail.

Make a prediction; it will not happen.

For God is with us.

10 Take counsel together, but it shall be brought to naught;

speak a word, but it will not stand,

for God is with us.

10 Make a plan, but it will be frustrated!

Speak a word, but it will not stand,

for God is with us!

10 Make your battle plans! But you won’t succeed.

Give your orders! But they won’t be carried out.

That’s because God is with us.

10 “Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted;

State a proposal, but it will not stand,

For God is with us.”
