| 1 | To the Chief Musician. Set to 'Lily of the Testimony.' A Michtam of David. For teaching. When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again! | |
| 2 | You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking. | |
| 3 | You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion. | |
| 4 | You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah | |
| 5 | That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me. | |
| 6 | God has 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 helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. | |
| 8 | Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me." | |
| 9 | Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? | |
| 10 | Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? | |
| 11 | Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. | |
| 12 | Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies. | |
