Victory with God
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1You have rejected us, O God;You have broken us;You have been angry;restore us! 2You have shaken the landand torn it open.Heal its fractures,for it is quaking. 3You have shown Your people hardship;we are staggered from the wine You made us drink. 4You have raised a banner for those who fear You,that they may flee the bow.Selah 5Respond and save us with Your right hand,that Your beloved may be delivered. 6God has spoken from His sanctuary:“I will triumph!I will parcel out Shechemand apportion the Valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. 8Moab is My washbasin;upon Edom I toss My sandal;over Philistia I shout in triumph.” 9Who will bring me to the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom? 10Have You not rejected us, O God?Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? 11Give us aid against the enemy,for the help of man is worthless. 12With God we will perform with valor,and He will trample our enemies.
