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.
For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and struck [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
2 Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
You have shown your people hard things: you has made us 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)
You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. (Pause)
5 That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.
That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your 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 has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;
8 Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
