¹ God, You have turned away from us;
    You have shattered us into a million tiny pieces;
    You have boiled with anger.
    Now put us back together, and refresh us with Your mercy.
² You have made the earth shake; You have cracked it open effortlessly.
    Heal the fissures in the earth, for it is unsteady.
³ You have caused Your people to suffer;
    You have provided us with wine that makes us stagger.

⁴ You have unfurled a banner for those who revere You,
    a signal to gather in safety out of the enemy’s reach.

⁵ So that Your treasured ones may be saved,
    rescue us with Your right hand, and answer our pleas!

⁶ God’s voice has been heard in His holy sanctuary:
    “I will celebrate; I will allocate Shechem
    and the Succoth Valley to My people.
⁷ Gilead belongs to Me, and so does Manasseh;
    Ephraim is the helmet that protects My head;
    Judah is the scepter through which I rule;
⁸ Moab is the washpot in which I rinse My feet.
    I will throw My shoe over Edom in conquest;
    prepare for My victory, Philistia. Cry out because of Me!”

⁹ But who will take me into the fortified city?
    Who will lead me into Edom?
¹⁰ Have You not turned Your back on us, O God?
    Will You stay away and not accompany our armies, O God?
¹¹ Help us against our enemy; we need Your help!
    It’s useless to trust in the hand of man for liberation.
¹² Only through God can we be successful.
    It is God alone who will defeat our enemies and bring us victory!
