Psalm 60

¹O God, you have cast us off and broken us; *you have been angry; oh, take us back to you again.

²You have shaken the earth and split it open; *repair the cracks in it, for it totters.

³You have made your people know hardship; *you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

⁴You have set up a banner for those who fear you, *to be a refuge from the power of the bow.

⁵Save us by your right hand and answer us, *that those who are dear to you may be delivered.

⁶God spoke from his holy place and said: *“I will exult and parcel out Shechem; I will divide the valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

⁸Moab is my wash-basin, on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *and over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”

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

¹⁰Have you not cast us off, O God? *you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

¹¹Grant us your help against the enemy, *for vain is the help of man.

¹²With God we will do valiant deeds, *and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
