Opening the chapter…

O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
You have shown your people hard things: you have made us drink the wine of astonishment.
You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
Judas is my king; Moab is the cauldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
