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 itbecause 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 youso that they can rally to itwhen attacked by bows ⌊and arrows⌋. Selah
5 Save ⌊us⌋ with your powerful hand, and answer usso 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 enemybecause human assistance is worthless.
12 With God we will display great strength.He will trample our enemies.
