Psalms 60

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

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

1Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

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

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

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

8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

10(not in this translation)

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

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

11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

11(not in this translation)

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

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

12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

12(not in this translation)

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