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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

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

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

God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will 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.

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

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

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 fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

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

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

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 against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.

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

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

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