\God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.
\
:
\By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.
\

\You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.
\
:
\Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

\Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.
\

\Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.
\
:
\Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
