Urgent Prayer for the Restored Favor of God

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Lily of the Testimony.” A Michtam of David. For teaching. When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

1 O God, ^aYou have cast us off;
You have broken us down;
You have been displeased;
Oh, restore us again!

2 You have made the earth tremble;
You have broken it;
^aHeal its breaches, for it is shaking.

3 ^aYou have shown Your people hard things;
^bYou have made us drink the wine of¹ confusion.

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

5 ^aThat Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

6 God has ^aspoken in His holiness:
“I will rejoice;
I will ^bdivide ^cShechem
And measure out ^dthe Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^aEphraim also is the helmet for My head;
^bJudah is My lawgiver.

8 ^aMoab is My washpot;
^bOver Edom I will cast My shoe;
^cPhilistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”

9 Who will bring me to the strong city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

10 Is it not You, O God, ^awho cast us off?
And You, O God, who did ^bnot go out with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble,
^aFor the help of man is useless.

12 Through God ^awe will do valiantly,
For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
