¹ O God, thou hast rejected us - hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?² Thou hast shaken the land - hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof - for it hath tottered:³ Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.⁴ Thou hadst given - to them that revere thee - a banner, to float aloft, Because of thy faithfulness. Selah.⁵ That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand - and answer us.

⁶ God, hath spoken in his holiness - I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;⁷ Mine, is Gilead - and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;⁸ Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.⁹ Who will conduct me to fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!¹⁰ Is it not, thou, O God? - thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?¹¹ Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:¹² In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
