1 You, God, are angry with us!We are rejected and crushed.Make us strong again!
2 You made the earth shakeand split wide open;now heal its woundsand stop its trembling.
3 You brought hard timeson your people,and you gave us winethat made us stagger.
4 You gave a signal to thosewho worship you,so they could escapefrom enemy arrows.
5 Answer our prayers, God!Use your powerful armand give us victory.Then the people you lovewill be safe.
6 Our God, you solemnly promised,“I would gladly divide upthe city of Shechemand give away Succoth Valleypiece by piece.
7 The lands of Gileadand Manasseh are mine.Ephraim is my war helmet,and Judah is the symbolof my royal power.
