1 Dauid complayning to God of former iudgement, 4 now vpon better hope prayeth for deliuerance. 6 Comforting himselfe in Gods promises, he craueth that helpe whereon he trusteth.

¶ To the chiefe Musician vpon Shushan-Eduth [fn]Michtam of Dauid, to teach. [ref]When hee stroue with Aram Naharaim, and with Aram Zobah, when Ioab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt, twelue thousand.

1 ¶ O [ref]God, thou hast cast vs off; thou hast [fn]scattered vs, thou hast bene displeased, O turne thy selfe to vs againe.

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heale the breaches thereof, for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of astonishment.

4 Thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee: that it may be displayed because of the trueth. Selah.

5 [ref]That thy beloued may be deliuered; saue with thy right hand, and heare mee.

6 God hath spoken in his holinesse, I wil reioyce: I will diuide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Iudah is my Lawgiuer.

8 Moab is my wash-pot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shooe: Philistia, [fn]triumph thou because of me.

9 Who wil bring me into the [fn]strong citie? who will lead me into Edom?

10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast vs off? and thou, [ref]O God, which didst not goe out with our armies.

11 Giue vs helpe from trouble: for vaine is the [fn]helpe of man.

12 Through God wee shall doe valiantly: for he it is that shall tread downe our enemies.

Or, a golden Psalme.
