Psalms 60

1 O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.

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

2 You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.

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

3 You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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

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

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

5 That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.

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

6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh [Causing to forget] is mine. Ephraim [Fruit] also is the defense of my head. Judah [Praised] is my scepter.

8 Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.

Moab [From father] is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom [Red]. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom [Red]?

10 Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?

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

11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

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

12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

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