Psalms 60

1 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.

To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.

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

Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.

3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah)

But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. (Selah)

5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.

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

Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

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

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.

Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
