For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us! |

You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking. |
|

|
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink. |
|
4
|
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah |
|
5
|
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. |

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. |
|

|
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. |
|

|
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” |
|

|
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? |
|

|
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? |
|

|
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. |

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies. |
