Psalm 60

Deus, repulisti nos

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 12 verses

  1. 1

    O God, you have cast us off and broken us; *
    you have been angry; oh, take us back to you again.

  2. 2

    You have shaken the earth and split it open; *
    repair the cracks in it, for it totters.

  3. 3

    You have made your people know hardship; *
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

  4. 4

    You have set up a banner for those who fear you, *
    to be a refuge from the power of the bow.

  5. 5

    Save us by your right hand and answer us, *
    that those who are dear to you may be delivered.

  6. 6

    God spoke from his holy place and said: *
    "I will exult and parcel out Shechem; I will divide the valley of Succoth.

  7. 7

    Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; *
    Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my scepter.

  8. 8

    Moab is my wash-basin, on Edom I throw down my sandal to claim it, *
    and over Philistia will I shout in triumph."

  9. 9

    Who will lead me into the strong city? *
    who will bring me to Edom?

  10. 10

    Have you not cast us off, O God? *
    you no longer go out, O God, with our armies.

  11. 11

    Grant us your help against the enemy, *
    for vain is the help of man.

  12. 12

    With God we will do valiant deeds, *
    and he shall tread our enemies under foot.
