| Chapter 60 |
1 | God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us to you, again. |
2 | You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes. |
3 | You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. |
4 | You have given a banner to those who fear you, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. |
5 | So that your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us. |
6 | God has spoken from his sanctuary: 'I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth. |
7 | Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. |
8 | Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.' |
9 | Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? |
10 | Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out, with our armies, God. |
11 | Give us help against the adversary, For the help of man is vain. |
12 | Through God we shall do valiantly, For it is he who will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. |
