1 (59-1) <Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, (59-2) 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.> (59-3) O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
1
O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; now restore us!
2 (59-4) Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
2
You have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
3 (59-5) Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.
3
You have made your people suffer hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us reel.
4 (59-6) Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.
4
You have set up a banner for those who fear you, to rally to it out of bowshot. (Selah)

7 (59-9) Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8 (59-10) Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.

Moab is my washbasin; on Edom I hurl my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9 (59-11) Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
