Psalm 60:1-3
Good News Translation
(A)A Prayer for Deliverance[a]
60 You have rejected us, God, and defeated us;
you have been angry with us—but now turn back to us.[b]
2 You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open;
now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.
3 You have made your people suffer greatly;
we stagger around as though we were drunk.
