[1] O God, you have rejected us. You suddenly turned on us in your anger. Please restore us! [2] You made the earth quake; you split it open. Repair its breaches, for it is ready to fall. [3] You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine. [4] You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah) [5] Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. [6] God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Sukkoth I will measure off. [7] Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh. Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. [8] Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia." [9] Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? [10] Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. [11] Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. [12] By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.
