Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

¹ God, ^(C1)You have rejected us. You have ^(F1)(C2)broken us;
You have been ^(C3)angry; ^(C4)restore us!

² You have made the ^(F1)(C1)land quake, You have split it open;
^(C2)Heal its cracks, for it sways.

³ You have ^(F1)(C1)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us ^(F2)wine to ^(C2)drink that makes us stagger.

⁴ You have given a ^(C1)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

^5 (C1)That Your ^(C2)beloved may be rescued,
^(C3)Save us with Your right hand, and answer ^(F1)us!

⁶ God has spoken in His ^(F1)(C1)holiness:
"I will triumph, I will divide up ^(C2)Shechem, and measure out the Valley of ^(C3)Succoth.

⁷ "^(C1)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^(C2)Ephraim also is the ^(F1)helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^(C3)scepter.

⁸ "^(C1)Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over ^(C2)Edom;
Shout loud, ^(C3)Philistia, because of Me!"

⁹ Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who ^(F1)will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰ Have You Yourself not ^(C1)rejected us, God?
And ^(C2)will You not go out with our armies, God?

¹¹ Oh give us help against the enemy,
For ^(C1)rescue ^(F1)by man is worthless.

^12 (F1)Through God we will ^(C1)do valiantly,
And it is He who will ^(C2)trample down our enemies.
