Psalms 60
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
2 You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
3 You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.
You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
11 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
