1For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.
2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
