God, thou hast put awei vs, and thou hast distried vs; thou were wrooth, and thou hast do merci to vs.
2 Commovisti terram, et conturbasti eam; sana contritiones ejus, quia commota est.

6 Deus locutus est in sancto suo: lætabor, et partibor Sichimam; et convallem tabernaculorum metibor.

7 Meus est Galaad, et meus est Manasses; et Ephraim fortitudo capitis mei. Juda rex meus;
