Psalms 60:3-12

³You have caused us, your people, to suffer very much; it is as though you forced us to drink strong wine that caused us to stagger around after we became drunk.

⁴But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not be killed by the enemies' arrows.

⁵Answer our prayers and enable us by your power MTY to defeat our enemies in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”

⁶Then God answered my prayer and spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered your enemies, I will divide up everything in Shechem city, and I will distribute it among my people the land in Succoth Valley.

⁷The Gilead region is mine; the people of the tribe of Manasseh are mine; the tribe of Ephraim is like my helmet MET; and the tribe of Judah is like the ◄scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler► MET;

⁸but the Moab region is like my washbasin MET; I throw my sandal in the Edom area to show that it belongs to me; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated the people of the Philistia area.”

⁹Because I want to defeat the people of Edom, ◄who will lead my army triumphantly to their capital city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my army triumphantly to their capital city that has strong walls around it.►” RHQ

¹⁰So, God, we desire/hope that RHQ you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out to fight our enemies.

¹¹We need you to help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.

¹²But with you helping us, we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
