**1 **\{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.

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

**3 **Thou hast shewed 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 mete out the valley of Succoth.

**7 **Gilead *is* mine, and Manasseh *is* mine; Ephraim also *is* the strength of mine 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* not thou, O God, *which* hadst cast us off? and *thou*, O God, *which* 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 *it is that* shall tread down our enemies.
