[[To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam.] A Psalm Chapter of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley.]
[1] O God, thou hast cast us out, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been angry, turn again unto us.
[2] Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heal the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
[3] Thou hast showed thy people heavy things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of giddiness.
[4] But now thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of thy truth. Selah.
[5] That thy beloved may be delivered, help with thy right hand and hear me.
[6] God hath spoken in his holiness: therefore I will rejoice: I shall divide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.
[7] Gilead shall be mine, and Manasseh shall be mine: Ephraim also shall be the strength of mine head: Judah is my lawgiver.
[8] Moab shall be my wash pot: over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia show thyself joyful for me.
[9] Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will bring me unto Edom?
[10] Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off, and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
[11] Give us help against trouble: for vain is the help of man.
[12] Through God we shall do valiantly: for he shall tread down our enemies.
