Psalms 60

1Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

1 OGod, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

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.

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

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

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

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;

3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

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

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

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

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

10(not in this translation)

10 [Wilt] not thou, OGod, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, OGod, with our armies?

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

11(not in this translation)

11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

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

12(not in this translation)

12 ThroughGod we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

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