Psalms 60

1 God! you walked off and left us, kicked our defenses to bits And stalked off angry. Come back. Oh please, come back!

1 You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry—now restore us!

2 You shook earth to the foundations, ripped open huge crevasses. Heal the breaks! Everything's coming apart at the seams.

2 You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.

3 You made your people look doom in the face, then gave us cheap wine to drown our troubles.

3 You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

4 Then you planted a flag to rally your people, an unfurled flag to look to for courage.

4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow.

5 Now do something quickly, answer right now, so the one you love best is saved.

5 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.

6 That's when God spoke in holy splendor, "Bursting with joy, I make a present of Shechem, I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.

7 Gilead's in my pocket, to say nothing of Manasseh. Ephraim's my hard hat, Judah my hammer;

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab's a scrub bucket, I mop the floor with Moab, Spit on Edom, rain fireworks all over Philistia."

8 Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

9 Who will take me to the thick of the fight? Who'll show me the road to Edom?

9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

10 You aren't giving up on us, are you, God? refusing to go out with our troops?

10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?

11 Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless.

11 Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.

12 In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good.

12 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
