[1]To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, 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.[2]Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh.[3]Thou hast shown 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 measure out the valley of Succoth.[7]Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my 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 thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who 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 will tread down our enemies.
