Psalms 60

1 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.

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 its breaches; 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 shown 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 measure 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 my 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 thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who 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 will tread down our enemies.

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