Psalms 60

1 O God thou have cast us off. Thou have broken us down. Thou have been angry. O restore us again.

To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

2 Thou have made the land to tremble. Thou have torn it. Heal the breaking of it, for it shakes.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Thou have shown thy people hard things. Thou have made us to drink the wine of staggering.

4 Thou have given a banner to those who fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab is my wash pot. Upon Edom I will cast my shoe. Philistia, shout thou because of me.

Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

10 Have not thou, O God, cast us off? And thou go not forth, O God, with our armies.

[Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is who will tread down our adversaries.
