"O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast scattered us, Thou hast been displeased; O turn Thyself to us again....Who will bring me into the strong city?.... Wilt not Thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? And Thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies" (Psalm 60:1, 9-12).
Lord, we know Your promise well
That we'll not be forsaken.
Yet as we on this promise dwell,
We should not be mistaken.
Your promise not to leave Your own
Does not mean You'll stand by
And thereby tacitly condone
The sin that we deny.
At times we sense by Your removal,
We surely need correction.
We rush ahead without approval,
And thus without protection.
Oh turn Yourself to us again,
Restore us, Lord, anew.
For vain is help from mortal men;
Our triumph comes from You.
