Psalms 60

1 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.

O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

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

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

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

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

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

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

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

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

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

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

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

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