Return Again, O God
Psalm 60
Dwight Armstrong

O Lord, thou hast rejected us, and scattered us abroad;
For thou hast been displeased with us; return to us, O God.
For thou hast made the earth to shake; within it breaches make:
Do thou thereof the breaches heal, because the land doth shake.

O Lord, to Thy own chosen people hast Thou hard times sent;
And thou hast made us drink the wine of sore astonishment.
And yet a banner thou hast giv'n to them who thee do fear;
That it may be displayed by them for sake of truth appear.

That thy beloved people lord may all delivered be,
Save with the pow'r of thy right hand, an answer give to me.
Help us from trouble; for the help is vain which man supplies.
Through God we'll do great acts; he shall tread down our enemies.
