⁰For the choirmaster, on the lily of testimony. An inscription of David, to teach; when he struggled against Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand.

¹God, you have rejected us; you have burst us open; you were angry; restore us.

²You have made the land quake; you have split it open; heal its fractures, for it is shaking.

³You made your people see hard things; you made us drink wine of reeling.

⁴You have set up a banner for those who fear you, to be raised up from the face of the bow. Selah.

⁵So that your beloved ones may be rescued, save with your right hand, and answer me.

⁶God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide up Shechem, and I will measure off the vale of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the stronghold of my head, Judah my commander's staff.

⁸Moab is my washing pot; over Edom I throw my sandal; over me, O Philistia, shout.

⁹Who will bring me to the city of siege? Who has led me as far as Edom?

¹⁰Have you not, God, cast us away? You do not go out, God, with our armies.

¹¹Give us help out of the tight place, for the deliverance of man is vain.

¹²In God we will act with strength, and he will trample our enemies.
