1. - O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
2. Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3. Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4. Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
5. That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6. God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7. Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the [Or, strengthening] strength of my head;
8. Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9. Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10. Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
11. Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12. In God will we [Gr. work power] do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
