  1. Psalm 60:1 Heb. Shushan Eduth

But (A)You have cast us off and put us to shame,
And You do not go out with our armies.
10 You make us (B)turn back from the enemy,
And those who hate us have taken [a]spoil for themselves.
11 (C)You have given us up like sheep intended for food,
And have (D)scattered us among the nations.
12 (E)You sell Your people for next to nothing,
And are not enriched by selling them.

13 (F)You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
A scorn and a derision to those all around us.
14 (G)You make us a byword among the nations,
(H)A shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 My dishonor is continually before me,
And the shame of my face has covered me,
16 Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,
(I)Because of the enemy and the avenger.

17 (J)All this has come upon us;
But we have not forgotten You,
Nor have we dealt falsely with Your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back,
(K)Nor have our steps departed from Your way;
19 But You have severely broken us in (L)the place of jackals,
And covered us (M)with the shadow of death.

20 If we had forgotten the name of our God,
Or (N)stretched[b] out our hands to a foreign god,
21 (O)Would not God search this out?
For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 (P)Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 (Q)Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever.
24 (R)Why do You hide Your face,
And forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For (S)our soul is bowed down to the [c]dust;
Our body clings to the ground.
26 Arise for our help,
And redeem us for Your mercies’ sake.

Egypt Attacks Judah(A)

12 Now (B)it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that (C)he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel along with him. (D)And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the Lord, with twelve hundred chariots, sixty thousand horsemen, and people without number who came with him out of Egypt—(E)the Lubim and the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians. And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

Then (F)Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Thus says the Lord: ‘You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak.’ ”

So the leaders of Israel and the king (G)humbled themselves; and they said, (H)“The Lord is righteous.”

Now when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves, (I)the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. Nevertheless (J)they will be his servants, that they may distinguish (K)My service from the service of the kingdoms of the nations.”

(L)So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had (M)made. 10 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place, and committed them (N)to the hands of the captains of the guard, who guarded the doorway of the king’s house. 11 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord, the guard would go and bring them out; then they would take them back into the guardroom. 12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of the Lord turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.
