¹ You have rejected us, God, and defeated us;
    you have been angry with us—but now turn back to us.^[b]
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 have reverence for you,
    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^[c] God has said,
    "In triumph I will divide Shechem
    and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.
⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too;
    Ephraim is my helmet
    and Judah my royal scepter.
⁸ But I will use Moab as my washbowl,
    and 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?
¹⁰ Have you really rejected us?
    Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
¹¹ Help us against the enemy;
    human help is worthless.
¹² With God on our side we will win;
    he will defeat our enemies.
