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.
02 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast
broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it
shaketh.
03 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou
hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
04 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear
thee, that it may be displayed because of the
truth. Selah.
05 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with
thy right hand, and hear me.

06 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will
rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the
valley of Succoth.
07 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim
also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my
lawgiver;
08 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out
my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
09 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.
