Psalm

60 O God, you have cast us off, you have broken through us,+

You have become incensed. You should restore us.+

 2 You have caused the earth to rock, you have split it open.+

Heal its breaches, for it has tottered.+

 3 You have caused your people to see hardship.+

You have made us drink wine sending us reeling.+

 4 You have given to those fearing you a signal+

To flee zigzag* on account of the bow. Seʹlah.

 5 In order that your beloved ones may be rescued,+

O do save with your right hand and answer us.*+

 6 God himself has spoken in his holiness:+

“I will exult, I will give out Sheʹchem as a portion;+

And the low plain of Sucʹcoth I shall measure off.+

 7 Gilʹe·ad belongs to me and Ma·nasʹseh belongs to me,+

And Eʹphra·im is the fortress of my head one;

Judah is my commander’s staff.+

 8 Moʹab is my washing pot.+

Over Eʹdom I shall throw my sandal.+

Over Phi·lisʹti·a I shall shout in triumph.”*+

 9 Who will bring me to the besieged city?+

Who will certainly lead me as far as Eʹdom?+

10 Is it not you, O God, who have cast us off+

And who do not go forth with our armies as God?+

11 Do give us assistance from distress,+

As salvation by earthling man is worthless.+

12 By God we shall gain vital energy,+

And he himself will tread down our adversaries.+
