Psalms 60

1 For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.

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.

2 Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

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

3 Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

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

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

6 God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.

8 Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!

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

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

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

10 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

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

11 Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

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

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