- O God, thou hast cast vs off;
thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene displeased, O turne thy selfe to vs againe.
- 2
- Thou hast made the earth to tremble;
thou hast broken it: heale the breaches thereof, for it shaketh.
- 3
- Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of astonishment.
- 4
- Thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee: that it may be displayed because of the trueth.

saue with thy right hand, and heare mee.
- 6
- God hath spoken in his holinesse, I wil reioyce: I will diuide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

- Moab is my wash-pot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shooe: Philistia, by an ironie.triumph thou because of me.
- 9
- Who wil bring me into the strong citie?
who will lead me into Edom?
- 10
