Psalm 60

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.

1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased;

O turn thyself to us again.

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble;

thou hast broken it:

heal the breaches thereof;

for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things:

thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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

Selah

5 That thy beloved may be delivered;

save 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.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;

Judah is my lawgiver;

8 Moab is my washpot;

over Edom will I cast out my shoe:

Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

9 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?

11 Give us help from trouble:

for vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly:

for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
