Whydo You withdrawYour hand,even Your righthand?From withinYour bosom,destroy[them]!
ArouseYourself, whydo You sleep,O Lord?Awake,do not rejectus forever.
Will You restrainYourself at thesethings,O LORD?Will You keepsilentand afflictus beyondmeasure?
In fierceangerHe has cutoffAllthe strengthof Israel;He has drawnbackHis righthandFrom beforethe enemy.And He has burnedin Jacoblike a flamingfireConsumingroundabout.
When the peoplecameinto the camp,the eldersof Israelsaid,"Whyhas the LORDdefeatedus todaybeforethe Philistines?Let us taketo ourselves from Shilohthe arkof the covenantof the LORD,that it may comeamongus and deliverus from the powerof our enemies."
