1 O God, ^dYou have rejected us. You have ^{▼▼ Or broken out upon us
,} ^fbroken us;
You have been ^gangry; O, ^hrestore us.
2 You have made the ^{▼▼ Or earth
,} ^jland quake, You have split it open;
^kHeal its breaches, for it totters.
3 You have ^{▼▼ Lit caused Your people to see
,} ^mmade Your people experience hardship;
You have given us ^{▼▼ Lit wine of staggering}wine to ^odrink that makes us stagger.
4 You have given a ^pbanner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. ^{▼▼ Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude}Selah.
5 ^rThat Your ^sbeloved may be delivered,
^tSave with Your right hand, and answer ^{▼▼ Some authorities read me}us!

6 God has spoken in His ^{▼▼ Or sanctuary
,} ^wholiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out ^xShechem and measure out the valley of ^ySuccoth.
7 ^z“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^aaEphraim also is the ^{▼▼ Lit protection}helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^{▼▼ Or lawgiver
,} ^adscepter.
8 ^ae“Moab is My washbowl;
Over ^afEdom I shall throw My shoe;
Shout loud, O ^agPhilistia, because of Me!”

9 Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who ^{▼▼ Or has led}will lead me to Edom?
10 Have not You Yourself, O God, ^airejected us?
And ^ajwill You not go forth with our armies, O God?
11 O give us help against the adversary,
For ^akdeliverance ^{▼▼ Lit of}by man is in vain.
12 ^{▼▼ Or In or With}Through God we shall ^ando valiantly,
And it is He who will ^aotread down our adversaries.
