Through God We Shall Do Valiantly
For the choir director. According to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David. For teaching. 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 bbroken us;
You have been cangry; Oh, drestore us.
2 You have made the aland quake, You have split it open;
bHeal its breaches, for it shakes.
3 You have acaused Your people to see hardship;
You have given us wine to bdrink that causes reeling.
4 You have given a abanner to those who fear You,
In order to flee to it from the bow. Selah.
5 aThat Your bbeloved may be rescued,
cSave with Your right hand, and answer us!
6 God has spoken in His aholiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out bShechem and measure out the valley of cSuccoth.
7 aGilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
bEphraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My cscepter.
8 aMoab is My washbowl;
Over bEdom I shall throw My shoe;
Make a loud shout, O cPhilistia, because of Me!”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Have You Yourself, O God, not arejected us?
And bwill You, O God, not go forth with our armies?
11 Oh give us help against the adversary,
For asalvation by man is worthless.
12 Through God we shall ado valiantly,
And it is He who will btread down our adversaries.
