A Prayer for Help against the Foe |
| Ps. 108.6-13 |
| To the chief Musician upon Shu'shan–e'duth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with A'ram–nahara'im and with A'ram–zo'bah, when Jo'ab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. 2.1--0.1 ; 0.8 ; 3.8 · 1 Chr. 18.12 |
|
| 1 |
O God, thou hast cast us off,
| | |
thou has 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 showed 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 |
Gil'e-ad is mine, and Manas'seh is mine;
| | |
E'phra-im also is the strength of mine head; |
|
Judah is my lawgiver; |
|
|
| 8 |
Moab is my washpot;
| | |
over Edom will I cast out my shoe: |
|
Philis'ti-a, 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. |
|
