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

2 | 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. |
3 | By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved. |
4 | You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink. |
5 | Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.) |
6 | So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer. |
7 | 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. |
8 | Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; |
9 | Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded. |
10 | Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom? |
11 | Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies. |
12 | Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man. |
13 | Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet. |
