VVhen he fought against Aram Naharaim, & against Aram Zobah, when Ioab returned and slewe twelue thousand Edomites in the salt valley.

Selah.⁵ That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

⁶ God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.⁷ Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.⁸ Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.⁹ Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?¹⁰ Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, & didest not go forth, O God, wt our armies?¹¹ Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.¹² Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
