[1] <To the chiefe musition vpon Susan Eduth, a golden psalme of Dauid, for to teache: (made) when he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Stobah, and when Ioab turned backe and slue twelue thousande Edomites in the salt valley.> O Lorde thou hast cast vs out, thou hast dispearsed vs, thou art displeased: O turne thee vnto vs agayne
[2] Thou hast made the land to tremble, thou hast cleft it asunder: heale the breaches therof, for it is redy to fall downe
[3] Thou hast made thy people see heauie thinges: thou hast geuen vs wyne to drinke, that maketh vs tremble
[4] But to suche as feare thee: thou hast geuen a banner to be lyfted vp on high for the trueth sake. Selah
[5] [Therfore] that thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe me with thy right hand, and heare me
[6] The Lorde hath spoken in his holynes (whereof I wyll reioyce) this: I wyll deuide Sichem, and measure the valley of Sucoth
[7] Gilead shalbe myne, and Manasses shalbe myne: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of my head, and Iuda my law geuer
[8] Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom I wyll cast my shoe, Philistea be thou glad of me
[9] Who wyll leade me into the stong citie? who wyll bring me into Edom
[10] Hast not thou remoued vs from thence O Lorde? and wylt not thou O Lorde go out with our hoastes
[11] Geue vs ayde against trouble: for the sauing helpe of man is but vayne
[12] Thorowe the Lorde we wyll do valiaunt actes: for he him selfe wyll treade downe our enemies
