1David complaining to God of former judgments, 4now upon better hope prayeth for deliverance: 6comforting himself in God's promises, he craveth that help whereon he trusteth.
To the chief Musician 1upon Shushan-eduth, aMichtam of David, 2to teach; when he 3strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1O God, 1thou hast cast us off, thou hast ascattered us, thou hast been displeased; O 2turn thyself to us again.
2Thou 1hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou 1hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4Thou 1hast given 2a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5That 1thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6God 1hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I 2will divide 3Shechem, and mete out the valley of 4Succoth.
71Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the 2strength of mine head; Judah is my 3lawgiver;
8Moab is my 1washpot; over 2Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, atriumph thou because of me.
9Who will bring me into the astrong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10wilt not thou, O God, which1hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11Give 1us help from trouble: for vain is the ahelp of man.
12Through 1God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
