To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

And smote all the first-born in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:

And he smote his enemies in the hinder part: he put them to a perpetual reproach.

He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.

He smote also all the first-born in their land, the chief of all their strength.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

To him that smote Egypt in their first-born: for his mercy endureth for ever:

To him who smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
