Psalms 60

1 O GOD, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

“To the chief musician upon Shushan'eduth, a Michtham of David, to teach, When he fought with Aram-naharayim, and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Salt Valley twelve thousand [men].” O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast made a breach in us, thou hast been displeased: restore now unto us [thy favor].

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

Thou hast caused the earth to quake; thou hast split it: heal her breaches; for she is moved.

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

Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of confusion.

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

Thou hast given to those that fear thee a banner, to elevate themselves, because of the truth. (Selah)

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

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

6 God hath 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 the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

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

Mine is Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs;

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

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou but over me.

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

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

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

Give us help against the assailant; 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 shall we do valiantly: and he it is that will tread down our assailants.
