Psalms 60

¹You have rejected us, God, and defeated us; you have been angry with us---but now turn back to us.

²You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open; now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.

³You have made your people suffer greatly; we stagger around as though we were drunk.

⁴You have warned those who have reverence for you, so that they might escape destruction.

⁵Save us by your might; answer our prayer, so that the people you love may be rescued.

⁶From his sanctuary God has said, "In triumph I will divide Shechem and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.

⁸But I will use Moab as my washbowl, and I will throw my sandals on Edom, as a sign that I own it. Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?"

⁹Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have you really rejected us? Aren't you going to march out with our armies?

¹¹Help us against the enemy; human help is worthless.

¹²With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.
