1. |
{For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.} God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
|
|
2. |
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
|
|
3. |
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
|
|
4. |
You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
|
|
5. |
So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
|
|
6. |
God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
|
|
7. |
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
|
|
8. |
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."
|
|
9. |
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?
|
|
10. |
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.
|
|
11. |
Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.
|
|
12. |
Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
