[1] God, you were angry at us. You rejected us and destroyed us. Please make us whole again.
[2] You shook the earth and split it open. Our world is falling apart. Please fix it.
[3] You have given your people many troubles. We are like drunk people staggering and falling down.
[4] You warned the people who worship you. Now they can escape the enemy.
[5] Use your great power and save us! Answer my prayer and save the people you love!
[6] God spoke in his temple: It makes me very happy! ˻God said,˼ ˻I will share this land with my people.˼ I will give them Shechem. I will give them Succoth Valley.
[7] Gilead and Manasseh will be mine. Ephraim will be my helmet. Judah will be my royal scepter.
[8] Moab will be the bowl for washing my feet. Edom will be the slave who carries my sandals. I ˻will defeat˼ the Philistine people and shout about the victory!”
[9] -
[10] But God, you left us! You did not go with our army! So who will lead me into the strong, protected city? Who will lead me to fight against Edom?
[11] God, help us defeat our enemy! People can’t help us!
[12] Only God can make us strong. Only God can defeat our enemies!
