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.
Thou hast made the earth
to tremble;
thou hast broken
it: heal
the breaches
thereof; for it shaketh.

Thou hast shewed
thy people
hard things:
thou hast made us to drink
the wine
of astonishment.
Thou hast given
a banner
to them that fear
thee, that it may be displayed
because
of the truth.
Selah.
That thy beloved
may be delivered;
save
with thy right hand,
and hear
me.
God
hath spoken
in his holiness;
I will rejoice,
I will divide
Shechem,
and mete out
the valley
of Succoth.
Gilead
is mine, and Manasseh
is mine; Ephraim
also is the strength
of mine head;
Judah
is my lawgiver;
Moab
is my washpot;
over Edom
will I cast out
my shoe:
Philistia,
triumph
thou because of me.
Who will bring
me into the strong
city?
who will lead
me into Edom?
Wilt not thou, O God,
which hadst cast us off?
and thou, O God,
which didst not go out
with our armies?
Give
us help
from trouble:
for vain
is the help
of man.
Through God
we shall do
valiantly:
for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies.
