1 For the choir director. According to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David. For teaching. When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry; Oh, restore us.
2 Heal its breaches, for it shakes.
3 You have given us wine to drink that causes reeling.
4 In order to flee to it from the bow. Selah.
5 Save with Your right hand, and answer us!
6 “I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter.
8 Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Make a loud shout, O Philistia, because of Me!”
9 Who will lead me to Edom?
10 And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?
11 For salvation by man is worthless.
12 And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
