Psalm 60:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶Our God, you solemnly promised,
“I would gladly divide up
    the city of Shechem
and give away Succoth Valley
    piece by piece.
⁷The lands of Gilead
    and Manasseh are mine.
Ephraim is my war helmet,
and Judah is the symbol
    of my royal power.
⁸Moab is merely my washbasin.
    Edom belongs to me,
and I shout in triumph
    over the Philistines.”
