For the Chief Musician. To the tune Lily of Testimony.
A miktam by David, when he fought with Aram-Naharayim
and with Aram-Tzovah, and Yo'av 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 to you, 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 Shekhem, And measure out the valley of Sukkot.
7 Gil`ad is mine, and Menashsheh is mine. Efrayim also is the defense of my head. Yehudah is my scepter.
8 Mo'av is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Peleshet."
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 shall do valiantly, For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
