1O GOD, thou hast forsaken us, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased with us; O turn thyself to us again.

2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof, for it hath weakened.

3Thou hast shown thy people hardships; thou hast made us to drink the dregs of wine.

4Thou hast wrought a miracle to them that reverence thee, so that they need not flee from the bow.

5That thy beloved may be prepared, save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6God has spoken in his holiness: I will be strong, I will divide Shechem and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my king.

8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I levy tribute; over Philistia will I triumph.

9Who will lead me into Edom? Who will bring me into the strong city?

10For behold, O God, thou hadst cast us off, and thou didst not go before us with our armies.

11Give us strength against our enemies; for vain is the help of man.

12Through God we shall do valiantly; for he it is who shall tread down our enemies.
