📚✭✭O God, you have cast us off. You have scattered us.
You have been displeased.
Oh, turn to us again.
2 📚You have caused the earth
to tremble.
You have broken it.
Heal its broken places,
for it shakes.
3 📚You have showed your people
hardness.
You have made us drink the wine✭
of trembling.
4 📚✭You have given a banner✭
to those who fear you,
that it may be displayed because
of the truth. Selah
5 📚Save with your right hand
and hear me,
that your beloved may be delivered.
6 📚✭God has spoken in his holiness:
“I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley
of Succoth.
7 📚✭Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh is mine,
and Ephraim is the helmet
for my head.
Judah is my lawgiver✭.
8 📚✭Moab is my wash pot.
On Edom I will cast my sandal.
Philistia, shout in triumph because
of me”.
9 📚✭Who will bring me into
the strong city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
10 📚Will not you, O God,
you who have cast us off?
And you, O God, who
did not go out with our armies?
11 📚✭Give us help from trouble,
for vain is
the help of man.
12 📚Through God we will do
valiantly,
for it is he who will
trample✭ down our enemies.
