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 leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive 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 land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. (Selah)
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
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 answer me!
6 God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure 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 shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?
Who will bring me to 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! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.
Give us thine aid in our distress, 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 will tread down our enemies.
