60:1  O GOD, You have rejected us {and} cast us off, broken down [our defenses], {and} scattered us; You have been angry--O restore us {and} turn Yourself to us again!

60:2  You have made the land to quake {and} tremble, You have rent it [open]; repair its breaches, for it shakes {and} totters.

60:3  You have made Your people suffer hard things; You have given us to drink wine that makes us reel {and} be dazed.

60:4  [But now] You have set up a banner for those who fear {and} worshipfully revere You [to which they may flee from the bow], a standard displayed because of the truth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

60:5  That Your beloved ones may be delivered, save with Your right hand and answer us [or me].

60:6  God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]: I will rejoice, I will divide and portion out [the land] Shechem and the Valley of Succoth [west to east].

60:7  Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is My helmet (the defense of My head); Judah is My scepter {and} My lawgiver.

60:8  Moab is My washpot [reduced to vilest servitude]; upon Edom I cast My shoe in triumph; over Philistia I raise the shout of victory.

60:9  Who will bring me [David] into the strong city [of Petra]? Who will lead me into Edom?

60:10  Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go forth, O God, with our armies?

60:11  O give us help against the adversary, for vain (ineffectual and to no purpose) is the help or salvation of man.

60:12  Through God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.
