[1] God, you have rejected us and scattered us. You have been angry, but please come back to us. [2] You made the earth shake and crack. Fix its breaks because it is shaking. [3] You have given your people trouble. You made us unable to walk straight, like people drunk with wine. [4] You have raised a banner to gather those who fear you. Now they can escape the enemy. Selah [5] Answer us and save us by your power. Then the people you love will be rescued. [6] God has said from his Temple, "When I win, I will divide Shechem and cut up the Valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead and Manasseh are mine. Ephraim is like my helmet. Judah holds my royal scepter. [8] Moab is like my washbowl. I throw my sandals at Edom. I shout at Philistia." [9] Who will bring me to the strong, walled city? Who will lead me to Edom? [10] God, surely you have rejected us. You do not go out with our armies. [11] Help us fight the enemy. Human help is useless. [12] But we can win with God's help. He will defeat our enemies.
