Psalm 60 (ESV)

¹ O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;
you have been angry; oh, restore us.
² You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
repair its breaches, for it totters.
³ You have made your people see hard things;
you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

⁴ You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah
⁵ That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

⁶ God has spoken in his holiness:
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
⁷ Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
⁸ Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

⁹ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰ Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
¹¹ Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!
¹² With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
