4 Thou have given a banner to those who fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

8 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Philistia, shout thou because of me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

10 Have not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.
