8. Moab is My washpot [reduced to vilest servitude]; upon Edom I cast My shoe in triumph; over Philistia I raise the shout of victory.

10. Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?
11. O give us help against the adversary, for vain (ineffectual and to no purpose) is the help or salvation of man.
