Psalm 60

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. Set to "Lily of Testimony."A mikhtam of David for teaching about when he fought with Aram-Naharayim and with Aram-Tzovah, and Yo'av returned and killed 12,000 from Edom in the Salt Valley: God, you rejected us; you crushed us; you were angry; but now revive us.

2 You made the land shake, split it apart; now repair the rifts, for it is collapsing.

3 You made your people suffer hard times, had us drink a wine that made us stagger.

4 To those who fear you because of the truth you gave a banner to rally around, (Selah)

5 so that those you love could be rescued; so save with your right hand, and answer us!

6 God in his holiness spoke, and I took joy [in his promise]: "I will divide Sh'khem and determine the shares in the Sukkot Valley.

7 Gil'ad is mine and M'nasheh mine, Efrayim my helmet, Y'hudah my scepter.

8 Mo'av is my washpot; on Edom I throw my shoe; P'leshet, be crushed because of me!"

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

10 God, have you rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.

11 Help us against our enemy, for human help is worthless.

12 With God's help we will fight valiantly, for he will trample our enemies.

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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