Psalms 60
|
God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again. | O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again. |
By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved. | Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. |
You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink. | Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering. |
Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.) | Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah |
So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer. | That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us. |
God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out. | God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver; | Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre. |
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded. | Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me. |
Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom? | Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom? |
Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies. | Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. |
Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man. | Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man. |
Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet. | Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries. |
