Psalms, Chapter 60
1
For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and struck of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
O God you have cast us off, you have broken us down;You have been angry; oh restore us again.
2
You have made the land to tremble; you have rent it:Heal its breaches; for it shakes.
3
You have shown your people hard things:You have made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4
You have given a banner to those who fear you,That it may be displayed because of the bow. Selah.
5
That your beloved may be delivered,Save with your right hand, and answer us.
6
God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult;I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;Ephraim also is the defense of my head;Judah is my scepter.
8
Moab is my washpot;On Edom I will cast my sandal:Philistia, shout because of me.
9
Who will bring me into the strong city?Who has led me to Edom?
10
Have not you, O God, cast us off?And you don't go forth, O God, with our hosts.
11
Give us help against the adversary;For vain is the help of man.
12
Through [the Speech of] God we will do valiantly;For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
