| 1 | To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, 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. |
| 2 | Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh. |
| 3 | Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. |
| 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 hear me. |
| 6 | God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. |
| 7 | Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver; |
| 8 | Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. |
| 9 | Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
| 10 | Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies? |
| 11 | Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. |
| 12 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies. |
