Psalms 59:5-14

⁵Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment.

⁶Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.

⁷That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

⁸God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.

⁹Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;

¹⁰Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.

¹¹Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far as Idumea?

¹²Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?

¹³Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.

¹⁴In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
