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