Psalms 60

1 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.

1Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

2By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

2Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer.

3You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

3To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

4Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

4For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

5So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

5In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

6God 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.

6For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

7Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

8He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

9Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

9So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

10Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.

11Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

12Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
