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