To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
|
3
|
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
|
4
|
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
|
5
|
That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
|
6
|
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
|
7
|
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
|
8
|
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
|
9
|
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
|
10
|
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
|
11
|
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
|
12
|
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
