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.
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been
displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the
breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth.
Selah.
That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength
of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
triumph thou because of me.
Who will bring me into the strong city?
who will lead me into Edom?
Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off?
and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
