Psalm 60

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.

New Living Translation NLT

1 You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.

2 You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.

3 You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.

4 But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude

5 Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.

6 God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.

8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom?

10 Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?

11 Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.

12 With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
