Psalms 60
A national lament after defeat: God himself is blamed for breaking the land open and making his people drink 'the wine that makes us stagger.' Yet a banner has been given to those who fear him. The mood pivots when God speaks from his sanctuary, claiming territory by name — Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Ephraim, Judah — and treating Moab, Edom and Philistia like servants' gear. The psalm ends choosing reliance on God over the 'vain' help of man.
- 1
God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, 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 sandal 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 will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
- 1
Deus, tu nos rejeitaste. Tu nos despedaçaste. Tu te iraste. Restaura-nos novamente.
- 2
Fizeste a terra tremer. Tu a fendeste. Repara as suas fendas, pois ela está abalada.
- 3
Mostraste ao teu povo coisas difíceis. Deste-nos a beber o vinho que nos faz cambalear.
- 4
Deste um estandarte aos que te temem, para que seja desfraldado por causa da verdade. Selá.
- 5
Para que os teus amados sejam libertos, salva com a tua mão direita, e responde-nos.
- 6
Deus falou do seu santuário: “Eu triunfarei. Dividirei Siquém, e medirei o vale de Sucote.
- 7
Gileade é meu, e Manassés é meu. Efraim também é a defesa da minha cabeça. Judá é o meu cetro.
- 8
Moabe é a minha bacia de lavar. Lançarei a minha sandália sobre Edom. Dou gritos de triunfo sobre a Filístia.”
- 9
Quem me levará à cidade forte? Quem me conduziu a Edom?
- 10
Não foste tu, Deus, que nos rejeitaste? Tu não sais com os nossos exércitos, Deus.
- 11
Dá-nos ajuda contra o adversário, pois o socorro do homem é vão.
- 12
Em Deus faremos proezas, pois é ele quem pisará os nossos adversários.
A map recited as a claim of ownership
Verses 6-8 are an oracle that reads almost like a survey of the land: tribal regions are 'mine,' Judah is the scepter, Ephraim the helmet. Then the foreign neighbors are reduced to household objects — Moab a wash basin, Edom the place to fling a sandal. Set beside the opening complaint that armies have failed (v.10), this declaration of divine ownership is what lets verse 12 say 'through God we will do valiantly.'
