Psalms

Psalm 60:5–12

⁵Respond and save us with Your right hand,

that Your beloved may be delivered.

⁶God has spoken from His sanctuary:^e

“I will triumph!

I will parcel out Shechem

and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

⁸Moab is My washbasin;

upon Edom I toss My sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have You not rejected us, O God?

Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

¹¹Give us aid against the enemy,

for the help of man is worthless.

¹²With God we will perform with valor,

and He will trample our enemies.
