3You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling.
4You have given those who fear you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, Selah
5for the rescue of your beloved. Save by your right hand and answer us.
6God did solemnly swear: “As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is the defence of my head, Judah my sceptre of rule,
8Moab the pot that I wash in, Edom — I cast my shoe over it, I shout o'er Philistia in triumph.”
9O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!
