1To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam[1] of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. (تث 31:19; 2صم 5:20; 2صم 8:3; 2صم 8:13; 2صم 10:16; 1أخ 18:3; 1أخ 18:12; مز 16:1; مز 44:9; مز 60:10; مز 80:1; مز 80:3)2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. (2أخ 7:14)3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. (أي 21:20; مز 71:20; إش 51:17; إش 51:22)4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow.[2] (مز 20:5; أم 22:21; إش 5:26; إش 11:12; إش 13:2)5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! (تث 33:12; مز 108:6; إر 11:15)6God has spoken in his holiness:[3] “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. (تك 12:6; تك 33:17; تك 33:18; يش 1:6; يش 13:27; يش 17:7; مز 89:35; عا 4:2)7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. (تك 49:10; تث 33:17; يش 13:31; مز 140:7)8Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”[4] (2صم 8:1; 2صم 8:2; مت 3:11)9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? (2صم 8:14)10Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. (مز 44:9; مز 60:1)11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! (مز 146:3)12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. (عد 24:18; مز 44:5; مز 108:13; مز 118:15; إش 63:3)
