For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to
teach; and when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab
returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. |
1
|
O YAHUVEH thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been
angry; oh restore us again. |
2
|
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches
thereof; for it shaketh. |
3
|
Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the
wine of staggering. |
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 answer
us. |

|
YAHUVEH hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
7
|
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my
head; Judah is my sceptre. |
8
|
Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou
because of me. |
9
|
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? |
10
|
Hast not thou, O YAHUVEH, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O
YAHUVEH, with our hosts. |
11
|
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. |
12
|
Through YAHUVEH we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down
our adversaries. |
