Psalm 60
New International Version
Psalm 60
New International Version
Psalm 60[a](A)
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam[b] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim[c] and Aram Zobah,[d] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.(B)
1 You have rejected us,(C) God, and burst upon us;
you have been angry(D)—now restore us!(E)
2 You have shaken the land(F) and torn it open;
mend its fractures,(G) for it is quaking.
3 You have shown your people desperate times;(H)
you have given us wine that makes us stagger.(I)
4 But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner(J)
to be unfurled against the bow.[e]
5 Save us and help us with your right hand,(K)
that those you love(L) may be delivered.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(M)
and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(N)
7 Gilead(O) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim(P) is my helmet,
Judah(Q) is my scepter.(R)
8 Moab is my washbasin,
on Edom I toss my sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.(S)”
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
and no longer go out with our armies?(T)
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
for human help is worthless.(U)
12 With God we will gain the victory,
and he will trample down our enemies.(V)

King James Version
Psalm 60
King James Version
60 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Israel’s Sin
12 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,(A)
Israel with deceit.
And Judah is unruly against God,
even against the faithful(B) Holy One.[a](C)
12 [b]1 Ephraim(D) feeds on the wind;(E)
he pursues the east wind all day
and multiplies lies and violence.(F)
He makes a treaty with Assyria(G)
and sends olive oil to Egypt.(H)
2 The Lord has a charge(I) to bring against Judah;(J)
he will punish(K) Jacob[c] according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.(L)
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;(M)
as a man he struggled(N) with God.
4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favor.
He found him at Bethel(O)
and talked with him there—
5 the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is his name!(P)
6 But you must return(Q) to your God;
maintain love and justice,(R)
and wait for your God always.(S)
7 The merchant uses dishonest scales(T)
and loves to defraud.
8 Ephraim boasts,(U)
“I am very rich; I have become wealthy.(V)
With all my wealth they will not find in me
any iniquity or sin.”
9 “I have been the Lord your God
ever since you came out of Egypt;(W)
I will make you live in tents(X) again,
as in the days of your appointed festivals.
10 I spoke to the prophets,
gave them many visions
and told parables(Y) through them.”(Z)
11 Is Gilead wicked?(AA)
Its people are worthless!
Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal?(AB)
Their altars will be like piles of stones
on a plowed field.(AC)
12 Jacob fled to the country of Aram[d];(AD)
Israel served to get a wife,
and to pay for her he tended sheep.(AE)
13 The Lord used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt,(AF)
by a prophet he cared for him.(AG)
14 But Ephraim has aroused his bitter anger;
his Lord will leave on him the guilt of his bloodshed(AH)
and will repay him for his contempt.(AI)

Hosea 11:12-12:14
King James Version
12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
12 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
5 Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.
7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
11 Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
12 And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
13 And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.

21 Fathers,[a] do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,(F) because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
