New Living Translation

Psalms • Chapter 60

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