⁷ Concerning Edom: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom? ⁸ Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him. ⁹ If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency! ¹⁰ For I—I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled is his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not. ¹¹ Leave thine orphans—I do keep alive, And thy widows—on Me trust ye, ¹² For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou art he that is entirely acquitted!

³ The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place is his habitation, He is saying in his heart, `Who doth bring me down to earth?') ⁴ If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁹ `And when ye go into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then ye have shouted with the trumpets, and ye have been remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye have been saved from your enemies.

³ and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence, ⁴ for Jehovah your God is He who is going with you, to fight for you with your enemies—to save you.

<sup>6</sup> And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, `Jehovah liveth, surely thou art upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good; ⁷ and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.' ⁸ And David saith unto Achish, `But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day—that I go not in and have fought against the enemies of my lord the king?' <sup>9</sup> And Achish answereth and saith unto David, `I have known that thou art good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into battle; ¹⁰ and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.' ¹¹ And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.

¹¹ And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, `Jehovah! it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou art; let him not prevail with Thee—mortal man!

¹⁵ and he saith, `Attend, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and O king Jehoshaphat, Thus said Jehovah to you, Ye fear not, nor are afraid of the face of this great multitude, for not for you is the battle, but for God.

⁹ In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.

¹³ God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.

² I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters are ye all.

¹ To the Overseer. —A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high, ² He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee, ³ He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes.

³ Trust not in princes—in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance. ⁴ His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
⁵ O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope is on Jehovah his God,

²² Cease for you from man, Whose breath is in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?

³ And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion, ⁴ For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach Hanes. ⁵ All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach!

³ And the Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.

⁵ Thus said Jehovah: Cursed is the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth. ⁶ And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited. ⁷ Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah. ⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

¹⁷ While we exist—consumed are our eyes for our vain help, In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation that saveth not.

⁸ And he smiteth them hip and thigh—a great smiting, and goeth down and dwelleth in the cleft of the rock Etam.

¹² `O our God, dost Thou not execute judgment upon them? for there is no power in us before this great multitude that hath come against us, and we know not what we do, but on Thee are our eyes.'

²⁹ For by Thee I run—a troop! And by my God I leap a wall. ³⁰ God! perfect is His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield is He to all those trusting in Him. ³¹ For who is God besides Jehovah? And who is a rock save our God? ³² God! who is girding me with strength, And He maketh perfect my way. ³³ Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand. ³⁴ Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.

⁴² And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.

¹² In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!

⁶ Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me. ⁷ Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I—I look on those hating me. ⁸ Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man, ⁹ Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes. ¹⁰ All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹¹ They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹² They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. ¹³ Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

¹ By David. Blessed is Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My hands for war, my fingers for battle.

¹⁰ For rest doth the hand of Jehovah on this mountain, And trodden down is Moab under Him, As trodden down is straw on a dunghill.

³ —`A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen!

¹⁰ and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

¹⁴ and to God are thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place,

¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; ¹¹ put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil, ¹² because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; ¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, ¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; ¹⁶ above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, ¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, ¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
