Psalms 60

1 “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].

To him that excelleth upon Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalme of David to teach. When he fought against Aram Naharaim, and against Aram Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley. O God, thou hast cast vs out, thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene angry, turne againe vnto vs.

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

Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to gape: heale the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.

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

Thou hast shewed thy people heauy things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of giddines.

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

But now thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee, that it may be displayed because of thy trueth. (Selah)

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

That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

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

God hath spoken in his holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure the valley of Succoth.

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

Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.

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

Moab shalbe my wash pot: ouer Edom will I cast out my shoe: Palestina shew thy selfe ioyfull for me.

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

Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

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

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?

11 Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

12 Through God shall we do valiantly: and he it is that will tread down our assailants.

Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall tread downe our enemies.
