“1 <<To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to
teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab
returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.>> O
God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been
displeased; O turn thyself to us again. 2 Thou hast made the earth to
tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink
the wine of astonishment. 4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear
thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 5 That thy
beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me.”
“6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7 Gilead [is] mine, and
Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah
[is] my lawgiver; 8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my
shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 9 Who will bring me [into]
the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 10 [Wilt] not thou, O God,
[which] hadst cast us off? and [thou], O God, [which] didst not go out
with our armies? 11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of
man. 12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall
tread down our enemies.” (Psalm 60:1-12 AV)
