2when he fought with Aram-Naharaim and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. 3O God, You have spurned us. You have broken out against us. You have been angry. Turn back to us! You made earth shake; You split it open. Heal its fractures—for it shudders. 5You made Your people see hardship. You made us drink wine of staggering. 6To those who fear You, You gave a banner, to be unfurled before the archers. Selah
