O God, You have cast us off;
You have broken us down;
You have been displeased;
Oh, restore us again!

Psa 60:2You have made the earth tremble;
You have broken it;
Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.

Psa 60:3You have shown Your people hard things;
You have made us drink the wine of confusion.

That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

“I will rejoice;
I will divide Shechem
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.

Ephraim also is the helmet for My head;
Judah is My lawgiver.

Psa 60:8Moab is My washpot;
Over Edom I will cast My shoe;
Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”

Psa 60:9

Who will lead me to Edom?

For the help of man is useless.

For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.[fn]
