For the Chief Musician; set to {That is, The lily of testimony.}Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;
Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:
Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast showed thy people hard things:
Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah
That thy beloved may be delivered,
Save with thy right hand, and answer {Another reading is, me.}us.
God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;
I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;
Judah is my {Or, lawgiver}sceptre.
Moab is my washpot;
{Or, Unto}Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:
Philistia, shout thou because of me.
Who will bring me into the strong city?
{Or, Who will lead me &c.}Who hath led me unto Edom?
{Or, Will not thou, O God, who hast cast us off, And goest…hosts?}Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.My soul {Hebrew: is silent unto God.}waiteth in silence for God only:From him cometh my salvation.

A Song of Ascents; of David.If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,Let Israel now say,
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,When men rose up against us;
Then they had swallowed us up alive,When their wrath was kindled against us;
Put not your trust in princes,Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I {Or, cried concerning this, They are but arrograncy: be still}called her Rahab that sitteth still.
Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
