1O God, you have rejected us.
You have broken down our defenses.
You have been angry.
Restore us!
2You made the land quake.
You split it wide open.
Heal the cracks in it
because it is falling apart.
3You have made your people experience hardships.
You have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you
so that they can rally to it
when attacked by bows ⌞and arrows⌟. Selah
5Save ⌞us⌟ with your powerful hand, and answer us
so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.#60:5 Verses 5–12 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 108:6–13.
6God has promised the following through his holiness:
“I will triumph!
I will divide Shechem.
I will measure the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine.
Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim is the helmet on my head.
Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my washtub.
I will throw my shoe over Edom.
I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us?
Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?
11Give us help against the enemy
because human assistance is worthless.
12With God we will display great strength.
He will trample our enemies.

1You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5Now rescue your beloved people.
Answer and save us by your power.

“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10Have you rejected us, O God?
Will you no longer march with our armies?
11Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.
