1. You have rejected us, God, and defeated us;you have been angry with us — but now turn back to us.
2. You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open;now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.
3. You have made your people suffer greatly;we stagger around as though we were drunk.
4. You have warned those who show you reverence,so that they might escape destruction.
5. Save us by your might; answer our prayer,so that the people you love may be rescued.
6. From his sanctuary God has said,“In triumph I will divide Shechemand distribute the Valley of Sukkoth to my people.
7. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too;Ephraim is my helmetand Judah my royal sceptre.
8. But I will use Moab as my washbasinand I will throw my sandals on Edom,as a sign that I own it.Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?”
9. Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city?Who will lead me to Edom?
