Psalms 60

1O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again. 2You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes. 3You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 4You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 5That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me. 6God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 8Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me. 9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 10Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies? 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
