Psalm 60

¹O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;

you have been angry; now restore us!

²You have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open;

repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.

³You have made your people suffer hard things;

you have given us wine to drink that made us reel.

⁴You have set up a banner for those who fear you,

to rally to it out of bowshot.   Selah

⁵Give victory with your right hand, and answer us,

so that those whom you love may be rescued.

⁶God has promised in his sanctuary:

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem,

and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.

⁸Moab is my washbasin;

on Edom I hurl my shoe;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have you not rejected us, O God?

You do not go out, O God, with our armies.

¹¹O grant us help against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

¹²With God we shall do valiantly;

it is he who will tread down our foes.
