1God, it seems like you walked off and left us!
Why have you turned against us?
You have been angry with us.
O Lord, we plead, come back and help us as a father.
2The earth quivers and quakes before you,
splitting open and breaking apart.
Now come and heal it, for it is shaken to its depths.
3You have taught us hard lessons
and made us drink the wine of bewilderment.
4You have given miraculous signs to those who love you.
As we follow you, we fly the flag of truth,
and all who love the truth will rally to it.

the portion of my inheritance to my people,

“Judah will continue to produce kings and lawgivers,
and Ephraim will produce great warriors.

Edom will likewise serve my purposes.

Who will lead me into Edom’s # 60:9 Edom is a variant form of the name Adam. fortresses?”

11Give us a father’s help when we face our enemies.
For to trust in any man is an empty hope.
12With God’s help we will fight like heroes,
and he will trample down our every foe!
