PSALM 60 (NIV)
- You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry - now restore us!
- You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractrures, for it is quaking.
- You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
- But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. Selah
- Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
- God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
- Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
- Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
- Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
- Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
- Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
- With God we will gain the victory, andhe will trample down our enemies.
