3 O GOD thou hast repelled vs, & hast destroyed vs: thou wast angrie and hast had mercie on vs.
4 Thou hast moued the earth, and hast trubled it: heale the breaches thereof, because it is moued.
5 Thou hast shewed vnto thy people hard thinges: thou hast made vs drinke the wine of compunction.
6 Thou hast geuen a signification to them that feare thee: they flee from the face of the bow.
7 That thy beloued may be deliuered, saue me with thy right hand; and heare me.
8 God hath spoken in his holie: I shal reioyce, and shal diuide Sichem: and shal mesure the valley of tabernacles.
9 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim the strength of my heade.
10 Iuda my king: Moab the pot of my hope.
Into Edom wil I stretch out my shoe: the foreners are subiect to me.
11 Who shal conduct me into a fensed citie? who shal conduct me euen into Idumea?
12 Shal not thou ô God, that hast expelled vs: and wilt not thou ô God goe forth in our hostes?
13 Giue us aide from tribulation: because mans saluation is vaine.
14 In God we shal doe strength: and he shal bring to nothing them that afflict vs.
