1 To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, ∥ Michtam of David, to teach; * when he strove with Aram-naharam and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1 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 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?

10Wilt 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.
