1I prayed, “God, you have rejected us Israelis!
2When we were defeated, it was as though [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open.
3You have caused us, your people, to suffer very much;
4But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you
5Answer our prayers and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat our enemies
6Then God answered my prayer and spoke from his temple, saying,
7The Gilead region is mine;
8but the Moab region is like my washbasin [MET];
9Because I want to defeat the people of Edom,
10So, God, we desire/hope that [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us,
11We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies,
12But with you helping us, we shall win;
