Psalms 60

1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men. O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.

O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.

2 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.

You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.

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

You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4 Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.

You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

5 Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.

That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.

6 God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

8 Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.

Moab is my pot for washing; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.

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

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

10 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out 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 help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.

Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
