7 Ref God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

9 Ref Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe; Over Philistia will I shout.
10 Ref Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
11 Ref Hast not thou cast us off, O God? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
12 Ref Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.
