Psalms 60

¹God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

²You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

³You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

⁴You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

⁵So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

⁶God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

⁸Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

⁹Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

¹⁰Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

¹¹Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

¹²Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
