Psalm 60:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶God has spoken from his holy place!^[a]
He has promised:
‘I will show my power!
    I will make Shechem into separate pieces.
    I will measure Succoth Valley.
⁷Gilead belongs to me,
    and so does Manasseh.
Ephraim is like my helmet for war.
Judah has the authority of my royal sceptre.^[b]
⁸But Moab is the place where I wash my hands.
Edom is my servant.
    I can throw my shoes at him!
I will shout loudly,
    because I have won against the Philistines.’^[c]
