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.

1 <<For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.>> God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us to you, again.

2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes.

3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5 So that your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

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

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

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