1O God thou hast cast us off , thou hast broken us down ; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again . 2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it : Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 3Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
A Cry for Help
4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah 5That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us . 6God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
God's Sovereignty and Assurance
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. 8Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me . 9Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
Call to Action and Trust
10Hast not thou, O God, cast us off ? And thou goest not forth , O God, with our hosts. 11Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. 12Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
