Psalm 60 (St Flavian CM)

1 O Lord, thou hast rejected us,and scattered us abroad;Thou justly hast displeased been;return to us, O God.2 The earth to tremble thou hast made;therein didst breaches make:Do thou thereof the breaches heal,because the land doth shake.3 Unto thy people thou hard thingshast showed, and on them sent;And thou hast caused us to drinkwine of astonishment.4 And yet a banner thou hast giv’nto them who thee do fear;That it by them, because of truth,displayed may appear.5 That thy beloved people maydelivered be from thrall,Save with the pow’r of thy right hand,and hear me when I call.6 God in his holiness hath spoke;herein I will take pleasure:Shechem I will divide, and forthwill Succoth’s valley measure.7 Gilead I claim as mine by right;Manasseh mine shall be;Ephraim is of mine head the strength;Judah gives laws for me;8 Moab’s my washing-pot; my shoeI’ll over Edom throw;And over Palestina’s landI will in triumph go.9 O who is he will bring me tothe city fortified?O who is he that to the landof Edom will me guide?10 O God, which hadest us cast off,this thing wilt thou not do?Ev’n thou, O God, which didest notforth with our armies go?11 Help us from trouble; for the helpis vain which man supplies.12 Through God we’ll do great acts; he shalltread down our enemies.
