3 o God, U het ons verstoot, ons vanmekaar geskeur; U was toornig; herstel ons!
4 U het die land laat bewe, dit gekloof; genees sy breuke, want dit wankel!
5 U het u volk harde dinge laat sien; U het ons bedwelmende wyn laat drink.
6 U het aan die wat u vrees, 'n banier gegee, om te vlug vir die boog! Sela.
7 Sodat u bemindes gered mag word; verlos deur u regterhand en verhoor ons!
8 God het gespreek in sy heiligdom: Ek wil jubel, Ek wil Sigem verdeel en die dal van Sukkot afmeet.
9 G¡lead is myne en Manasse is myne, en Efraim is die beskutting van my hoof; Juda is my veldheerstaf.
10 Moab is my waskom; op Edom werp Ek my skoen; jubel oor My, o Filist,a!
11 Wie sal my bring in die versterkte stad? Wie kan my lei tot in Edom?
12 Het U, o God, ons nie verwerp nie? En U trek nie uit, o God, saam met ons leërs nie. [ (Psalms 60:13) Verleen ons hulp teen die vyand, want die mens se hulp is ydelheid. ] [ (Psalms 60:14) In God sal ons kragtige dade doen, en Hy self sal ons vyande vertrap. ]
