[1] O God, you have rejected us. You have broken down our defenses. You have been angry. Restore us! [2] You made the land quake. You split it wide open. Heal the cracks in it because it is falling apart. [3] You have made your people experience hardships. You have given us wine that makes us stagger. [4] Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you so that they can rally to it when attacked by bows and arrows. Selah [5] Save us with your powerful hand, and answer us so that those who are dear to you may be rescued. [6] God has promised the following through his holiness: "I will triumph! I will divide Shechem. I will measure the valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter. [8] Moab is my washtub. I will throw my shoe over Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia." [9] Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? [10] Isn't it you, O God, who rejected us? Isn't it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies? [11] Give us help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless. [12] With God we will display great strength. He will trample our enemies.
