1God, You have rejected us. You have Or broken out upon usbroken us;
You have been angry; restore us!

That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

6God has spoken in His Or sanctuaryholiness:
“I will triumph, I will divide up Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.

Judah is My scepter.
8Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over Edom;
Shout loud, Philistia, because of Me!”
9Who will bring me into the besieged city?
