Psalm - 60

picture

1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

2 T hou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 T hou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

4 T hou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

5 T hat thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

6 G od hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 G ilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

8 M oab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

9 W ho will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

10 n ot thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 G ive us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

12 T hrough God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
