# Chapter 60
|
||
1 You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
|
||
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
|
||
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.
|
||
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
|
||
3 You have been very hard on us,
|
||
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
|
||
4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
|
||
a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
|
||
5 Now rescue your beloved people.
|
||
Answer and save us by your power.
|
||
6 God has promised this by his holiness:
|
||
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
|
||
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
|
||
7 Gilead is mine,
|
||
and Manasseh, too.
|
||
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
|
||
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
|
||
8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
|
||
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
|
||
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
|
||
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
|
||
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
|
||
10 Have you rejected us, O God?
|
||
Will you no longer march with our armies?
|
||
11 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
|
||
for all human help is useless.
|
||
12 With God’s help we will do mighty things,
|
||
for he will trample down our foes. |
