Psalm 60Prayer in Difficult Times
-
God, you have rejected us; you have broken us down; you have been angry. Restore us!
-
You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders.
-
You have made your people suffer hardship; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
-
You have given a signal flag to those who fear you, so that they can flee before the archers.Selah
-
Save with your right hand, and answer me, so that those you love may be rescued.
-
God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will celebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.
-
Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
-
Moab is my washbasin. I throw my sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia."
-
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
-
God, haven't you rejected us? God, you do not march out with our armies.
-
Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.
-
With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes.
