Psalms 60

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

For the Chief Musician; set to 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 again.

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

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

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

Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

4 You have given a banner to them that fear you, 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 your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.

That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.

6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

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

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

8 Moab is my wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.

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

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

10 Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?

Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

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

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

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

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