Psalm lx.

Deus, repulisti nos. GOD, thou hast cast us out, and scattered | us abroad: thou hast also been displeased; O turn thee unto us a again.

2 Thou hast moved the land, and divided it: heal the sores thereof, for it | shaketh.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people | heavy things: thou hast given us a | drink of deadly wine. 4 Thou hast given a token for | such as fear thee: that they may | triumph · because of the truth.

5 Therefore were thy beloved delivered: help me with thy | right hand, and | hear

me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness, I will rejoice and divide | Sichem: and mete | out the valley · of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Ma | nasses is | mine:

Ephraim also is the strength of my head; | Ju· dah is my law-giver;

8 Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast | out my shoe: Philistia | be thou | glad · of |

me.

9 Who will lead me into the | strong | city: who will bring me in to Edom?

10 Hast thou not cast us | out. O God: wilt not thou, O God, go out with our | hosts?
