1 |
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. --
|
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? --
|
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. --
