Psalm 60, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; now restore us!
 

2

You have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
 

3

You have made your people suffer hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us reel.
 

4

You have set up a banner for those who fear you, to rally to it out of bowshot.  (Selah)
 

5

Give victory with your right hand, and answer us, so that those whom you love may be rescued.
 

6

God has promised in his sanctuary: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
 

7

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
 

8

Moab is my washbasin; on Edom I hurl my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
 

9

Who will bring me to the fortified city?  Who will lead me to Edom?
 

10

Have you not rejected us, O God?  You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
 

11

O grant us help against the foe, for human help is worthless.

12

With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
