3 |
O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us. |
4 |
Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved. |
5 |
Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow. |
6 |
Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered. |
7 |
Save me with thy right hand, and hear me. |
8 |
God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles. |
9 |
Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king: |
10 |
Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject. |
11 |
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
12 |
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies? |
13 |
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man. |
14 |
Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us. |
