Use your power to rescue us!
    Answer our prayers!
Then the people that you love will be safe.
God has spoken from his holy place![a]
He has promised:
‘I will show my power!
    I will make Shechem into separate pieces.
    I will measure Succoth Valley.

    and so does Manasseh.

Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.[b]

    Ephraim(F) is my helmet,
    Judah(G) is my scepter.(H)
