60
1 God, you have cast us off; you have broken through our defenses; you have been angry; restore us again.
2 You have made the land tremble; you have torn it apart; heal its fissures, for it is shaking.
3 You have made your people see difficult things; you have made us drink the wine of staggering.
4 For those who honor you, you have set up a banner to be displayed against those who carry the bow.
5 So that those you love may be rescued, rescue us with your right hand and answer me.
6 God has spoken in his holiness, “I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem and apportion out the Valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin; over Edom I will throw my shoe; I will shout in triumph because of Philistia.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 But you, God, have you not rejected us? You do not go into battle with our army.
11 Give us help against the enemy, for man’s help is futile.
12 We will triumph with God’s help; he will trample down our enemies.
