Psalms 60

1 To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, 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.

Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men. O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.

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

Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.

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

Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.

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 warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.

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

Save me with thy right hand, and hear 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 holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

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

Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:

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

Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.

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

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

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

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?

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

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

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

Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
