Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defence, [and] the God of my mercy.	To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
