1 - ?For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A miktam
You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry - now restore us!
2 - You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 - You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 - But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.
5 - Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
6 - God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.
7 - Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
8 - Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9 - Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 - Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
11 - Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
12 - With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
