8 Ref Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

9 Ref Moab is my washpot; on Edom is the resting-place of my shoe; over Philistia will I send out a glad cry.

10 Ref Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

11 Ref Have you not sent us away from you, O God? and you go not out with our armies.
