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

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."
