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.

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

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

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

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

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed 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 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me.

That thy beloued may be deliuered, helpe with thy right hand and heare 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 holines: therefore I will reioyce: I shall deuide Shechem, and measure 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 shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iudah is my lawgiuer.

8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of 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 strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Who will leade me into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto 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, which hadest cast vs off, and didest not go forth, O God, with our armies?

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

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

12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.

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