[1]O GOD, thou hast forsaken us, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased with us; O turn thyself to us again.
[2]Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof, for it hath weakened.
[3]Thou hast shown thy people hardships; thou hast made us to drink the dregs of wine.
[4]Thou hast wrought a miracle to them that reverence thee, so that they need not flee from the bow.
[5]That thy beloved may be prepared, save with thy right hand, and hear me.
[6]God has spoken in his holiness: I will be strong, I will divide Shechem and mete out the valley of Succoth.
[7]Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my king.
[8]Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I levy tribute; over Philistia will I triumph.
[9]Who will lead me into Edom? Who will bring me into the strong city?
[10]For behold, O God, thou hadst cast us off, and thou didst not go before us with our armies.
[11]Give us strength against our enemies; for vain is the help of man.
[12]Through God we shall do valiantly; for he it is who shall tread down our enemies.
