Has God Forgotten Us?
To the Pure and Shining One
King David’s poem for instruction # 60 Or “According to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach.” There is no scholarly consensus about what Shushan Eduth means. Some have concluded it refers to a specific tune or possibly an instrument, but it remains a mystery. composed when he fought against the Syrians with the outcome still uncertain and Joab turned back to kill twelve thousand descendants of Esau in the Valley of Salt
To the tune of “Lily of the Covenant”
1God, it seems like you walked off and left us!
Why have you turned against us?
You have been angry with us.
O Lord, we plead, come back and help us as a father.
2The earth quivers and quakes before you,
splitting open and breaking apart.
Now come and heal it, for it is shaken to its depths.
3You have taught us hard lessons
and made us drink the wine of bewilderment.
4You have given miraculous signs to those who love you.
As we follow you, we fly the flag of truth,
and all who love the truth will rally to it.
Pause in his presence
5Come to your beloved ones and gently draw us out.
For Lord, you save those whom you love.
Come with your might and strength!
6-7Then I heard the Lord speak in his holy splendor.
From his sanctuary I heard the Lord promise:
“In my triumph I will be the one to measure out
the portion of my inheritance to my people,
and I will secure the land as I promised you.
Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Manasseh,
they are all still mine!” he says.
“Judah will continue to produce kings and lawgivers,
and Ephraim will produce great warriors.
8Moab will become my lowly servant.
Edom will likewise serve my purposes.
I will lift up a shout of victory over the land of Philistia!
9But who will bring my triumph into the strong city?
Who will lead me into Edom’s # 60:9 Edom is a variant form of the name Adam. fortresses?”
10Have you really rejected us, refusing to fight our battles?
11Give us a father’s help when we face our enemies.
For to trust in any man is an empty hope.
12With God’s help we will fight like heroes,
and he will trample down our every foe!

For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;
Thou hast been angry; O restore us again.
2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:
Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things:
Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
5That thy beloved may be delivered,
Save with thy right hand, and answer us.
6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult:
I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the defence of mine head;
Judah is my sceptre
8Moab is my washpot;
Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:
Philistia, shout thou because of me.
9Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who hath led me unto Edom?
10Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11Give us help against the adversary:
For vain is the help of man.
12Through God we shall do valiantly:
For he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
