Psalm 60

English Standard Version

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Shushan Eduth. A ^(B)Miktam^[a] of David; ^(C)for instruction; when he ^(D)strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 O God, ^(E)you have rejected us, ^(F)broken our defenses;
    you have been angry; ^(G)oh, restore us.
²You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
    ^(H)repair its breaches, for it totters.
³^(I)You have made your people see hard things;
    ^(J)you have given us ^(K)wine to drink that made us stagger.

⁴You have set up ^(L)a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it ^(M)from the bow.^[b] Selah
⁵^(N)That your ^(O)beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

⁶God has spoken ^(P)in his holiness:^[c]
    “With exultation ^(Q)I will divide up ^(R)Shechem
    and portion out the Vale of ^(S)Succoth.
⁷^(T)Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
    ^(U)Ephraim is ^(V)my helmet;
    Judah is my ^(W)scepter.
⁸^(X)Moab is my washbasin;
    upon Edom I ^(Y)cast my shoe;
    over ^(Z)Philistia I shout in triumph.”^[d]

⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    ^(AA)Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Have you not ^(AB)rejected us, O God?
    You ^(AC)do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
¹¹Oh, grant us help against the foe,
    for ^(AD)vain is the salvation of man!
¹²With God we shall ^(AE)do valiantly;
    it is he who will ^(AF)tread down our foes.

Some Greeks Seek Jesus

²⁰Now ^(A)among those who went up to worship at the feast were some ^(B)Greeks. ²¹So these came to ^(C)Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” ²²Philip went and told ^(D)Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. ²³And Jesus answered them, ^(E)“The hour has come ^(F)for the Son of Man to be glorified. ²⁴Truly, truly, I say to you, ^(G)unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. ²⁵^(H)Whoever loves his life loses it, and ^(I)whoever ^(J)hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶If anyone serves me, he must ^(K)follow me; and ^(L)where I am, there will my servant be also. ^(M)If anyone serves me, ^(N)the Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

²⁷^(O)“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, ^(P)save me from ^(Q)this hour’? But ^(R)for this purpose I have come to ^(S)this hour. ²⁸Father, glorify your name.” Then ^(T)a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” ²⁹The crowd that stood there and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, ^(U)“An angel has spoken to him.” ³⁰Jesus answered, ^(V)“This voice has come for your sake, not mine. ³¹^(W)Now is the judgment of this world; now will ^(X)the ruler of this world ^(Y)be cast out. ³²And I, ^(Z)when I am lifted up from the earth, ^(AA)will draw ^(AB)all people to myself.” ³³He said this ^(AC)to show by what kind of death he was going to die. ³⁴So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that ^(AD)the Christ remains forever. How can you say that ^(AE)the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” ³⁵So Jesus said to them, ^(AF)“The light is among you ^(AG)for a little while longer. ^(AH)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness ^(AI)overtake you. ^(AJ)The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become ^(AK)sons of light.”
