Psalms 59

1Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,● 2When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal: and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men.● 3O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.● 4Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.● 5Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.● 6Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.● 7Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.● 8God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.● 9Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:● 10Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.● 11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?● 12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?● 13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.● 14Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.●
