To the chief Musician[H5329] upon Shushaneduth[H7802], Michtam[H4387] of David[H1732], to teach[H3925]; when he strove[H5327] with Aramnaharaim[H763] and with Aramzobah[H760], when Joab[H3097]returned[H7725], and smote[H5221] of Edom[H123] in the valley[H1516] of salt[H4417]twelve[H8147]thousand[H505]. O God[H430], thou hast cast us off[H2186], thou hast scattered[H6555] us, thou hast been displeased[H599]; O turn thyself to us again[H7725].
2
Thou hast made the earth[H776] to tremble[H7493]; thou hast broken[H6480] it: heal[H7495] the breaches[H7667] thereof; for it shaketh[H4131].
3
Thou hast shewed[H7200] thy people[H5971] hard things[H7186]: thou hast made us to drink[H8248] the wine[H3196] of astonishment[H8653].
4
Thou hast given[H5414] a banner[H5251] to them that fear[H3373] thee, that it may be displayed[H5127]because[H6440] of the truth[H7189]. Selah[H5542].
5
That thy beloved[H3039] may be delivered[H2502]; save[H3467] with thy right hand[H3225], and hear[H6030] me.
6God[H430] hath spoken[H1696] in his holiness[H6944]; I will rejoice[H5937], I will divide[H2505]Shechem[H7927], and mete out[H4058] the valley[H6010] of Succoth[H5523].
7Gilead[H1568] is mine, and Manasseh[H4519] is mine; Ephraim[H669] also is the strength[H4581] of mine head[H7218]; Judah[H3063] is my lawgiver[H2710];
8Moab[H4124] is my washpot[H5518]; over Edom[H123] will I cast out[H7993] my shoe[H5275]: Philistia[H6429], triumph[H7321] thou because of me.
9
Who will bring[H2986] me into the strong[H4692]city?[H5892] who will lead[H5148] me into Edom?[H123]
10
Wilt not thou, O God[H430], which hadst cast us off?[H2186] and thou, O God[H430], which didst not go out[H3318] with our armies?[H6635]
11Give[H3051] us help[H5833] from trouble[H6862]: for vain[H7723] is the help[H8668] of man[H120].
12
Through God[H430] we shall do[H6213]valiantly[H2428]: for he it is that shall tread down[H947] our enemies[H6862].
