For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
[1] God, you have rejected us.You have broken us down.
You have been angry.
Restore us, again.
[2] You have made the land tremble.
You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
for it quakes.
[3] You have shown your people hard things.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
[4] You have given a banner to those who fear you,
that it may be displayed because of the truth.
Selah. [5] So that your beloved may be delivered,
save with your right hand, and answer us.
[6] God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“I will triumph.
I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth.
[7] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
Judah is my scepter.
[8] Moab is my wash basin.
I will throw my sandal on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia.” [9] Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who has led me to Edom?
[10] Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
[11] Give us help against the adversary,
for the help of man is vain.
[12] Through God we will do valiantly,
for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
