¹ To the Chief Musician; ``The Lily of the Testimony." A poem of David intended to record memorable thoughts and to teach; when he had striven with the Arameans of Mesopotamia and the Arameans of Zobah, and when Joab returned and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O GOD, You have rejected us and cast us off, broken down , and scattered us; You have been angry--O restore us and turn Yourself to us again! ² You have made the land to quake and tremble, You have rent it ; repair its breaches, for it shakes and totters. ³ You have made Your people suffer hard things; You have given us to drink wine that makes us reel and be dazed. ⁴ You have set up a banner for those who fear and worshipfully revere You , a standard displayed because of the truth. Selah ! ⁵ That Your beloved ones may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us . ⁶ God has spoken in His holiness : I will rejoice, I will divide and portion out Shechem and the Valley of Succoth . ⁷ Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My helmet (the defense of My head); Judah is My scepter and My lawgiver. ⁸ Moab is My washpot ; upon Edom I cast My shoe in triumph; over Philistia I raise the shout of victory. ⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city ? Who will lead me into Edom? ¹⁰ Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies? ¹¹ O give us help against the adversary, for vain (ineffectual and to no purpose) is the help or salvation of man. ¹² Through God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.
