1 |
To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,` a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us. |
2 |
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved. |
3 |
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling. |
4 |
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah. |
5 |
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us. |
6 |
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, |
7 |
Mine is Gilead, and mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver, |
8 |
Moab is my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia. |
9 |
Who doth bring me to a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom? |
10 |
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts! |
11 |
Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the deliverance of man. |
12 |
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries! |
