To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. 1O God, You have been displeased, and rejected and scattered us; O LORD, return to us again.
2You have caused the earth to quake, and to split open; heal its fissures; for it trembles.
3You have shown Your people hardships; You have made us drink wine that makes us stagger.
4But to those who fear You, You have given a banner, that it may be unfurled as a rallying point, in honor and truth. Selah.
5That those You love may be rescued; saves by Your right hand, as you answer us.
6God has spoken from His sanctuary, “I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the strength of My head; Judah is My lawgiver.
8Moab is My washpot; over Edom will I cast out My shoe; over Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”
9Who will bring me into the fortified and besieged city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10Have You not abandoned us, O God? And will You, O God, no longer go out with our armies?
11Help us in our time of trouble; for help from man is a vain hope.
12Through God we shall do valiantly; for it is You Who shall trampled our enemies. A Psalm of David. Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
