For the Chief Musician; [set to] Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; and when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again. -
|
2 |
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. -
|
3 |
Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering. -
|
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 answer us. -
|
6 |
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. -
|
7 |
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. -
|
8 |
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me. -
|
9 |
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? -
|
10 |
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. -
|
11 |
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. -
|
12 |
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. -
