3O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us .
3O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
4Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
4Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
5Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment.
5Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
6Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
6Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
7That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
7That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
8God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
8God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
9Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
9Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
10Judas 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.
10Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
11Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far as Idumea?
11Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
12Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?
12Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
13Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
14In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.
14Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
