11 the voice of the singers at the watering places.

They recite the victories of the Lord,

the victories of his villagers in Israel.

“Then the people of the Lord

went down to the city gates.

11 To the sound of musicians at the watering places,

there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the Lord,

the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel.

“Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord.

11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water,

There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord,

Even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel:

Then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.

11 Listen to the village musicians

gathered at the watering holes.

They recount the righteous victories of the Lord

and the victories of his villagers in Israel.

Then the people of the Lord

marched down to the city gates.

11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,

There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,

The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;

Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.

11 Listen to the sound of the singers

at the watering holes.

There they tell about the victories of the Lord,

the victories of the Lord’s warriors in Israel.

Then the Lord’s people went down to the city gates.

11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water,

There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah,

Even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.

Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.

11 Because of the voice of those who divide the spoil in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.

11 Listen to the voices of those singing at the wells. 

Over and over again they repeat 

the victories of the Lord, 

the victories for his villages in Israel. 

Then the Lord’s people went down to the city gates. 

11 Let them tell the righteous acts of the Lord,

the righteous deeds of His warriors in Israel,

with the voices of the singers at the watering places.

Then the Lord’s people went down to the gates.

11 To the sound of musicians at the watering places,

there they repeat the triumphs of the Lord,

the triumphs of his peasantry in Israel.

“Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord.

11 At the sound of those dividing the sheep

among the watering places,

there they will recount the righteous deeds of Yahweh,

the righteous deeds for his warriors in Israel.

Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.

11 the voices of the singers at the watering places.

They sing about the right things the Lord does.

They sing about the right things his warriors in Israel do.

“The people of the Lord

went down to the city gates.
