Psalms 60

Listen (KJV)

1O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3Thou hast showed thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah

5That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

6God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult; I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

8Moab is my washpot; Upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.

9Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

10Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

11Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

12Through God we shall do valiantly; For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
