Psalms 60:5-12

5Use your power to rescue us! Answer our prayers! Then the people that you love will be safe.

6God has spoken from his holy place! He has promised: ‘I will show my power! I will make Shechem into separate pieces. I will measure Succoth Valley.

7Gilead belongs to me, and so does Manasseh. Ephraim is like my helmet for war. Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.

8But Moab is the place where I wash my hands. Edom is my servant. I can throw my shoes at him! I will shout loudly, because I have won against the Philistines.’

9Who will lead me into the strong city? Who will take me to fight and win against Edom?

10God, have you really turned against us? Will you not lead our armies into battle?

11Help us to fight against our enemies, because help from men is useless!

12With God's help, we will win! He will beat down our enemies for us.
