1 [To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.] O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

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

3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

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 ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

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

10 {Wilt} not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David.\

2 \60:1\For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt.

3 \60:1\God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.

4 \60:2\By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

5 \60:3\You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

6 \60:4\Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

7 \60:5\So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

8 \60:6\God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

9 \60:7\Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

10 \60:8\Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

11 \60:9\Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

12 \60:10\Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.

13 \60:11\Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

14 \60:12\Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
