Psalm 60

Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

¹God, You have rejected us. You have broken us;[#60:1 Or broken out upon us]

You have been angry; restore us!

²You have made the land quake, You have split it open;[#60:2 Or earth]

Heal its cracks, for it sways.

³You have made Your people experience hardship;[#60:3 Lit caused Your people to see]

You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger.

⁴You have given a banner to those who fear You,

That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

⁵That Your beloved may be rescued,

Save us with Your right hand, and answer us!

⁶¶God has spoken in His holiness:[#60:6 Or sanctuary]

“I will triumph, I will divide up Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.

⁷“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;

Judah is My scepter.

⁸“Moab is My washbowl;

I will throw My sandal over Edom;

Shout loud, Philistia, because of Me!”

⁹¶Who will bring me into the besieged city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have You Yourself not rejected us, God?

And will You not go out with our armies, God?

¹¹Oh give us help against the enemy,

For rescue by man is worthless.

¹²Through God we will do valiantly,[#60:12 Or In; or With]

And it is He who will trample down our enemies.
