Psalm 60

1O God, you have spurned and broken us, us in your wrath – restore us! 2You have shaken the land and cleft it; its tottering breaches. 3You have made your people drink hardship, and given us wine of reeling. 4You have given those who revere you a banner, a rallying-place from the bow, Selah 5for the rescue of your beloved. by your right hand and answer us. 6God did solemnly swear: As victor will I divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, is the defence of my head, my sceptre of rule, 8Moab the pot that I wash in, my shoe over it, o’er Philistia in triumph.” 9O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom! 10Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies. 11Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.
