Common English Bible CEB
1 You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
1
God, you have rejected us— shattered us. You've been so angry. Now restore us!
2 You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
2
You've made the ground quake, splitting it open. Now repair its cracks because it's shaking apart!
3 You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
3
You've made your people suffer hardship; you've given us wine and we stagger.
4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
4
Give a flag to those who honor you, so they can rally around it, safe from attack. Selah
5 Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.
5
Save us by your power and answer us so that the people you love might be rescued.
6 God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
6
God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem and portion out the Succoth Valley.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
7
Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
8
But Moab is my washbowl; I'll throw my shoe at Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia!
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom?
9
I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city! I wish someone would lead me to Edom!"
10 Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?
10
But you have rejected us, God, haven't you? God, you no longer accompany our armies.
11 Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
11
Give us help against the enemy; human help is worthless.
12 With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
12
With God we will triumph; he's the one who will trample our adversaries.
