[1] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us to you, again. [2] You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, For it quakes. [3] You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. [4] You have given a banner to those who fear you, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. [5] So that your beloved may be delivered, Save with your right hand, and answer us. [6] God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth. [7] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. [8] Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia." [9] Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? [10] Haven`t you, God, rejected us? You don`t go out, with our armies, God. [11] Give us help against the adversary, For the help of man is vain. [12] Through God we shall do valiantly, For it is he who will tread down our adversaries. Psalm 61 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.
