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 upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. 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 shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.

Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; 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 shown thy people hard things: thou hast 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)

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, 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 thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy 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 hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 my 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 washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou 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.

Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst 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 will tread down our enemies.
