For the leader. On shushan eduth. A michtam of David (for teaching), when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and defeated twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath – restore us!

Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom – I cast my shoe over it, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’

With God we shall yet do bravely: he himself will tread down our foes.
