Psalms 60

¹God, you have rejected us and scattered us.

You have been angry, but please come back to us.

²You made the earth shake and crack.

Fix its breaks because it is shaking.

³You have given your people trouble.

You made us unable to walk straight, like people drunk with wine.

⁴You have raised a banner to gather those who fear you.

Now they can escape the enemy. Selah

⁵Answer us and save us by your power.

Then the people you love will be rescued.

⁶God has said from his Temple,

“When I win, I will divide Shechem

and cut up the Valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead and Manasseh are mine.

Ephraim is like my helmet.

Judah holds my royal scepter.

⁸Moab is like my washbowl.

I throw my sandals at Edom.

I shout at Philistia.”

⁹Who will bring me to the strong, walled city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰God, surely you have rejected us.

You do not go out with our armies.

¹¹Help us fight the enemy.

Human help is useless.

¹²But we can win with God’s help.

He will defeat our enemies.
