1 You have rejected us, God, and burst
upon us;
you have been angry—now restore
us!
2 You have shaken the land and torn it
open;
mend its fractures, for it is
quaking.
3 You have shown your people desperate
times;
you have given us wine that makes us
stagger.
4 But for those who fear you, you have raised
a banner
to be unfurled against the bow.[e]
5 Save us and help
us with your right hand,
that those you love may be
delivered.
6 God has spoken from his
sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out
Shechem
and measure off the Valley of
Sukkoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is
mine;
Ephraim is my helmet,
Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in
triumph.”
9 Who will bring me
to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now
rejected us
and no longer go out with our
armies?
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.
12 With God we will gain the
victory,
and he will trample down our
enemies.
