Psalms 60

Psalm 60

1O God, you have rejected us.

You have broken down our defenses.

You have been angry.

Restore us!

2You made the land quake.

You split it wide open.

Heal the cracks in it

because it is falling apart.

3You have made your people experience hardships.

You have given us wine that makes us stagger.

4Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you

so that they can rally to it

when attacked by bows ⌞and arrows⌟ . Selah

5Save ⌞us⌟ with your powerful hand, and answer us

so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.

6God has promised the following through his holiness:

“I will triumph!

I will divide Shechem.

I will measure the valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is mine.

Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim is the helmet on my head.

Judah is my scepter.

8Moab is my washtub.

I will throw my shoe over Edom.

I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

10Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us?

Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?

11Give us help against the enemy

because human assistance is worthless.

12With God we will display great strength.

He will trample our enemies.
