God, ^(C1)You have rejected us. You have ^(F1)(C2)broken us; You have been ^(C3)angry; ^(C4)restore us!

You have made the ^(F1)(C1)land quake, You have split it open; ^(C2)Heal its cracks, for it sways.

You have ^(F1)(C1)made Your people experience hardship; You have given us ^(F2)wine to ^(C2)drink that makes us stagger.

You have given a ^(C1)banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

^(C1)That Your ^(C2)beloved may be rescued, ^(C3)Save us with Your right hand, and answer ^(F1)us!

God has spoken in His ^(F1)(C1)holiness: "I will triumph, I will divide up ^(C2)Shechem, and measure out the Valley of ^(C3)Succoth.

-"^(C1)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; ^(C2)Ephraim also is the ^(F1)helmet of My head; Judah is My ^(C3)scepter.

-"^(C1)Moab is My washbowl; I will throw My sandal over ^(C2)Edom; Shout loud, ^(C3)Philistia, because of Me!"

Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who ^(F1)will lead me to Edom?

Have You Yourself not ^(C1)rejected us, God? And ^(C2)will You not go out with our armies, God?

Oh give us help against the enemy, For ^(C1)rescue ^(F1)by man is worthless.

^(F1)Through God we will ^(C1)do valiantly, And it is He who will ^(C2)trample down our enemies.

^(C1)Hear my cry, God; ^(C2)Give Your attention to my prayer.

From the ^(C1)end of the earth I call to You when my heart is ^(C2)faint; Lead me to ^(C3)the rock that is higher than I.

For You have been a ^(C1)refuge for me, A ^(C2)tower of strength against the enemy.

Let me ^(F1)(C1)dwell in Your tent forever; Let me ^(C2)take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

For You have heard my ^(C1)vows, God; You have given me the inheritance of those who ^(C2)fear Your name.

You will ^(F1)(C1)prolong the king's ^(F2)life; His years will be like generations.

He will ^(F1)sit enthroned ^(C1)before God forever; Appoint ^(C2)faithfulness and truth that they may watch over him.

So I will ^(C1)sing praise to Your name forever, That I may ^(C2)pay my vows day by day.

^(C1)My soul waits in silence for God alone; From Him ^(C2)comes my salvation.

He alone is my ^(C1)rock and my salvation, My ^(C2)stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

How long will you attack a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a ^(C1)leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position; They ^(C1)delight in falsehood; They ^(C2)bless with ^(F1)their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah

My soul, ^(C1)wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.

He alone is ^(C1)my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken.

My ^(C1)salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my ^(C2)refuge is in God.

^(C1)Trust in Him at all times, you people; ^(C2)Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

People of ^(C1)low standing are only ^(C2)breath, and people of rank are a ^(C3)lie; In the ^(C4)balances they go up. Together they are lighter than breath.

^(C1)Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly rely on ^(C2)robbery; If wealth increases, ^(C3)do not set your heart on it.

God has ^(C1)spoken ^(F1)once; ^(F2)Twice I have heard this: That ^(C2)power belongs to God;

And faithfulness ^(C1)is Yours, Lord, For You ^(C2)reward a person according to his work.
