A Prayer for Help against the Foe

601 O God , You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry ; O, restore us. 2 You have made the land quake , You have split it open ; Heal its breaches , for it totters . 3 You have made Your people experience hardship ; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger . 4 You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because e of the truth . Selah . 5 That Your beloved may be delivered , Save with Your right hand , and answer us!

6 God has spoken in His holiness : "I will exult , I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth . 7 " Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head ; Judah is My scepter . 8 " Moab is My washbowl ; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe ; Shout loud , O Philistia , because of Me!" 9 Who will bring me into the besieged city ? Who will lead me to Edom ? 10 Have not You Yourself , O God , rejected us? And will You not go forth with our armies , O God ? 11 O give us help against the adversary , For deliverance by man is in vain . 12 Through God we shall do valiantly , And it is He who will tread down our adversaries .
