The Psalms (WEB)

Psalm 60

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

 ^60:1God, you have rejected us.
      You have broken us down.

 You have been angry.
      Restore us to you, again.

 ^60:2You have made the land tremble.
      You have torn it.

 Mend its fractures,
      For it quakes.

 ^60:3You have shown your people hard things.
      You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

 ^60:4You have given a banner to those who fear you,
      That it may be displayed because of the truth.

 Selah.

 ^60:5So that your beloved may be delivered,
      Save with your right hand, and answer us.

 ^60:6God has spoken from his sanctuary:
      "I will triumph.
      I will divide Shechem,
      And measure out the valley of Succoth.

 ^60:7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
      Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
      Judah is my scepter.

 ^60:8Moab is my wash basin.
      I will throw my shoe on Edom.
      I shout in triumph over Philistia."

  ^60:9Who will bring me into the strong city?
      Who has led me to Edom?

 ^60:10Haven't you, God, rejected us?
      You don't go out with our armies, God.

 ^60:11Give us help against the adversary,
      For the help of man is vain.

 ^60:12Through God we shall do valiantly,
      For it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
