1. You, God, are angry with us!We are rejected and crushed.Make us strong again!
2. You made the earth shakeand split wide open;now heal its woundsand stop its trembling.
3. You brought hard timeson your people,and you gave us winethat made us stagger.
4. You gave a signal to thosewho worship you,so they could escapefrom enemy arrows.
5. Answer our prayers!Use your powerful armand give us victory.Then the people you lovewill be safe.
6. Our God, you solemnly promised,“I would gladly divide upthe city of Shechemand give away Succoth Valleypiece by piece.
7. The lands of Gileadand Manasseh are mine.Ephraim is my war helmet,and Judah is the symbolof my royal power.
8. Moab is merely my washbasin.Edom belongs to me,and I shout in triumphover the Philistines.”
