1
O God, you have rejected us. You have broken down our defenses. You have been angry. Restore us!
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, Thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof, for it shaketh.
2
You made the land quake. You split it wide open. Heal the cracks in it because it is falling apart.
3 Thou hast shown Thy people hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
3
You have made your people experience hardships. You have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
4
Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you so that they can rally to it when attacked by bows [and arrows]. Selah
5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand and hear me!
5
Save [us] with your powerful hand, and answer us so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.
6 God hath spoken in His holiness: "I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
6
God has promised the following through his holiness: "I will triumph! I will divide Shechem. I will measure the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the strength of Mine head; Judah is My lawgiver.
7
Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is My washpot; over Edom will I cast out My shoe; Philistia, triumph thou because of Me."

Moab is my washtub. I will throw my shoe over Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Will not Thou, O God, who hadst cast us off, and Thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies?
10
Isn't it you, O God, who rejected us? Isn't it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help of man.
11
Give us help against the enemy because human assistance is worthless.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for He it is that shall tread down our enemies.
12
With God we will display great strength. He will trample our enemies.
