Psalm 60:5-8
The Message
3-5 You made your people look doom in the face,
then gave us cheap wine to drown our troubles.
Then you planted a flag to rally your people,
an unfurled flag to look to for courage.
Now do something quickly, answer right now,
so the one you love best is saved.
6-8 That’s when God spoke in holy splendor,
“Bursting with joy,
I make a present of Shechem,
I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.
Gilead’s in my pocket,
to say nothing of Manasseh.
Ephraim’s my hard hat,
Judah my hammer;
Moab’s a scrub bucket,
I mop the floor with Moab,
Spit on Edom,
rain fireworks all over Philistia.”
Psalm 60:5-7
New International Version
5 Save us and help us with your right hand,(A)
that those you love(B) may be delivered.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(C)
and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(D)
7 Gilead(E) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim(F) is my helmet,
Judah(G) is my scepter.(H)
