God, you have rejected us and scattered us.
You have been angry, but
please come back to us.
You made the earth shake
and crack.
Heal its breaks because it
is shaking.
You have given your people
trouble.
You made us unable to walk
straight,
like people drunk with
wine.
You have raised a banner to
gather those who fear you.
Now they can stand up
against the enemy. Selah
Answer us and save us by
your power
so the people you love will
be rescued.
God has said from his
Temple,
"When I win, I will
divide Shechem
and measure off the
Valley of Succoth.
Gilead and Manasseh are
mine.
Ephraim is like my helmet.
Judah holds my royal
scepter.
Moab is like my washbowl.
I throw my sandals at Edom.
I shout at Philistia."
Who will bring me to the
strong, walled city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
God, surely you have
rejected us;
you do not go out with our
armies.
Help us fight the enemy.
Human help is useless,
but we can win with God's
help.
He will defeat our enemies.
