1 * You, God, are angry with us!

We are rejected and crushed.

Make us strong again!

2 You made the earth shake

and split wide open;

now heal its wounds

and stop its trembling.

3 You brought hard times

on your people,

and you gave us wine

that made us stagger.

4 You gave a signal to those

who worship you,

so they could escape

from enemy arrows.*

5 Answer our prayers, God!

Use your powerful arm

and give us victory.

Then the people you love

will be safe.

6 Our God, you solemnly promised,

"I would gladly divide up

the city of Shechem

and give away Succoth Valley

piece by piece.

7 The lands of Gilead

and Manasseh are mine.

Ephraim is my war helmet,

and Judah is the symbol

of my royal power.

8 Moab is merely my washbasin.

Edom belongs to me,

and I shout in triumph

over the Philistines."

9 Our God, who will bring me

to the fortress,

or lead me to Edom?

10 Have you rejected us

and deserted our armies?

11 Help us defeat our enemies!

No one else can rescue us.

12 You will give us victory

and crush our enemies.
