Psalm 60:6-12

Good News Translation

⁶ From his sanctuary^[a] God has said,
    “In triumph I will divide Shechem
    and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.
⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too;
    Ephraim is my helmet
    and Judah my royal scepter.
⁸ But I will use Moab as my washbowl,
    and I will throw my sandals on Edom,
    as a sign that I own it.
Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?”

⁹ Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰ Have you really rejected us?
    Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
¹¹ Help us against the enemy;
    human help is worthless.
¹² With God on our side we will win;
    he will defeat our enemies.
