I am reading and taking notes in the Psalms each morning. Today, I read Psalm 60. Parts of it are worth sharing given what’s going on in Israel today. It is a stark reminder that they must rely on God for their defense and salvation.

O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses;
you have been angry; oh, restore us.

You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
repair its breaches, for it totters.

You have made your people see hard things;
you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.

Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!

With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.

New International Version
