¹ For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;² when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, ³ O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.⁴ Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.⁵ Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

⁶ Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah⁷ That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.⁸ God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.⁹ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.¹⁰ Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!¹¹ Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?¹² Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

¹³ Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

¹⁴ Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
