Psalm 60 ~ Psalm 60

picture

1 O God, You have turned away from us. You have broken us. You have been angry. O heal us and turn to us again.

O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

2 Y ou have made the land shake. You have torn it open. Heal it where it is broken, for it shakes.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Y ou have made Your people suffer hard things. You have given us wine to drink that makes us not able to walk straight.

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4 Y ou have given a flag to those who fear You, so it may be seen because of the truth.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5 S ave us with Your right hand, and answer us, so Your loved ones may be set free.

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

6 G od has said in His holy place: “I will be full of joy. I will divide Shechem and the valley of Succoth.

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

7 G ilead is Mine. And Manasseh is Mine. Ephraim is the covering for My head. Judah is My Law giver.

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

8 M oab is where I wash My hands. I will throw My shoe over Edom. Call out, Philistia, because of me.”

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

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

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

10 H ave You not turned away from us, O God? And will You not go out with our armies, O God?

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

11 O give us help against those who hate us. For the help of man is worth nothing.

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

12 W ith God’s help we will do well. And He will break under His feet those who fight against us.

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