3 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.

4 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh.

5 Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

6 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

7 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

8 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

9 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

10 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

11 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

12 Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies?
