You have shown your people desperate times;(A)
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.(B)
But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner(C)
    to be unfurled against the bow.[a]

Save us and help us with your right hand,(D)
    that those you love(E) may be delivered.
God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(F)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(G)
Gilead(H) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim(I) is my helmet,
    Judah(J) is my scepter.(K)
Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.(L)

Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?(M)
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.(N)
12 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.(O)
