Lament over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.
For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; 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, AYou have rejected us. You have 1Bbroken us;
You have been Cangry; O, Drestore us.
You have made the 1Aland quake, You have split it open;
BHeal its breaches, for it totters.
You have 1Amade Your people experience hardship;
You have given us 2wine to Bdrink that makes us stagger.
You have given a Abanner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. 1
Selah.
AThat Your Bbeloved may be delivered,
CSave with Your right hand, and answer 1us!
God has spoken in His 1Aholiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out BShechem and measure out the valley of CSuccoth.
AGilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
BEphraim also is the 1helmet of My head;
Judah is My 2Cscepter.
AMoab is My washbowl;
Over BEdom I shall throw My shoe;
Shout loud, O CPhilistia, because of Me!”
Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who 1will lead me to Edom?
10 Have not You Yourself, O God, Arejected us?
And Bwill You not go forth with our armies, O God?
11 O give us help against the adversary,
For Adeliverance 1by man is in vain.
12  1Through God we shall Ado valiantly,
And it is He who will Btread down our adversaries.
