| Chapter 60 |
1 |
God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us to you, again. --
|
2 |
You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes. --
|
3 |
You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. --
|
4 |
You have given a banner to those who fear you, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. --
|
5 |
So that your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us. --
|
6 |
God has spoken from his sanctuary: 'I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth. --
|
7 |
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. --
|
8 |
Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.' --
|
9 |
Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? --
|
10 |
Haven't you, God, rejected us? You don't go out, with our armies, God. --
|
11 |
Give us help against the adversary, For the help of man is vain. --
|
12 |
Through God we shall do valiantly, For it is he who will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. --
