Psalms - Chapter 59

Passage

To the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, When 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. O God, you have cast us off, and have destroyed us; you have been angry, and have had mercy on us. You have moved the earth, and have troubled it: heal the breaches thereof, for it has been moved. You have shown your people hard things; you have made us drink the wine of sorrow. You have given a warning to them that fear you: that they may flee from before the bow: That your beloved may be delivered. Save me with your right hand, and hear me. God has spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles. Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king: Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject. Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go out with our armies? Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man. Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
