¹ O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us. ² Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken. ³ Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment. ⁴ Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause. ⁵ That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

⁶ God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents. ⁷ Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; ⁸ Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me. ⁹ Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea? ¹⁰ Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces? ¹¹ Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man. ¹² In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
