Swahili Bible2

60

To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,

Thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:

Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things:

Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,

That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5That thy beloved may be delivered;

Save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6God hath spoken in his holiness;

I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,

And mete out the valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

8Moab is my washpot;

Over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

9Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who will lead me into Edom?

10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off?

And thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

11Give us help from trouble:

For vain is the help of man.

12Through God we shall do valiantly:

For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
