1For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction,
2when he had burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Zobah, and Joab had returned and smitten in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
3O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; Thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
4Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; Heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
