The peoples have heard, they tremble; pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Awake, psaltery and harp; I will awake the dawn. I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto Thee among the nations. For Thy mercy is great above the heavens, and Thy truth reacheth unto the skies. Be Thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and Thy glory be above all the earth. That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me. God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; over Philistia do I cry aloud. Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom? Hast not Thou cast us off, O God? and Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts? Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.

Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.

Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.

[4:4] And also what are ye to Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render retribution on My behalf? and if ye render retribution on My behalf, swiftly, speedily will I return your retribution upon your own head.
