1 O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath --- restore us!
2 You have shaken the land and cleft it; heal its tottering breaches.
3 You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling.
4 You have given those who fear you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, (Selah)
5 for the rescue of your beloved. Save by your right hand and answer us.
6 God did solemnly swear: “As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah my sceptre of rule,
8 Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom — I cast my shoe over it, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.”
9 O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!
10 Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.
11 Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.
12 With God we shall yet do bravely: he himself will tread down our foes.
