Psalms - Chapter 60 | Good News Translation

  • 1. You have rejected us, God, and defeated us; you have been angry with us---but now turn back to us.
  • 2. You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open; now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.
  • 3. You have made your people suffer greatly; we stagger around as though we were drunk.
  • 4. You have warned those who have reverence for you, so that they might escape destruction.
  • 5. Save us by your might; answer our prayer, so that the people you love may be rescued.
  • 6. From his sanctuary God has said, "In triumph I will divide Shechem and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.
  • 7. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.
  • 8. But I will use Moab as my washbowl, and I will throw my sandals on Edom, as a sign that I own it. Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?"
  • 9. Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
  • 10. Have you really rejected us? Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
  • 11. Help us against the enemy; human help is worthless.
  • 12. With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.
