O God, You have cast us off; You have broken us down; You have been displeased; Oh, restore us again!
2
You have made the earth tremble; You have broken it; Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.
3
You have shown Your people hard things; You have made us drink the wine of confusion.
4
You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

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; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver.
8
Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me."
