Psalms 60

PSALM 60
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
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.
1O Lord, thou hast rejected us,
and scatter'd us abroad;
Thou justly hast displeased been;
return to us, O God.
2The earth to tremble thou hast made;
therein didst breaches make:
Do thou thereof the breaches heal,
because the land doth shake.
3Unto thy people thou hard things hast shew'd,
and on them sent;
And thou hast caused us to drink
wine of astonishment.
4And yet a banner thou hast giv'n
to them who thee do fear;
That it by them, because of truth,
displayed may appear.
5That thy beloved people may
deliver'd be from thrall,
Save with the pow'r of thy right hand,
and hear me when I call.
6God in his holiness hath spoke;
herein I will take pleasure:
Shechem I will divide, and forth
will Succoth's valley measure.
7Gilead I claim as mine by right;
Manasseh mine shall be;
Ephraim is of mine head the strength;
Judah gives laws for me;
8Moab's my washing-pot; my shoe
I'll over Edom throw;
And over Palestina's land
I will in triumph go.
9O who is he will bring me to
the city fortify'd?
O who is he that to the land
of Edom will me guide?
10O God, which hadest us cast off,
this thing wilt thou not do?
Ev'n thou, O God, which didest not
forth with our armies go?
11Help us from trouble; for the help
is vain which man supplies.
12Through God we'll do great acts; he shall
tread down our enemies.

Psalm 60
For the music leader. According to “Lily.” A testimony. A miktam#60.0 Perhaps inscription of David. For instruction, when he went to war with Aram-naharaim and Aram-sobah, and when Joab returned and defeated Edom, killing twelve thousand in the Salt Valley.
1God, you have rejected us—
shattered us.
You’ve been so angry.
Now restore us!
2You’ve made the ground quake,
splitting it open.
Now repair its cracks
because it’s shaking apart!
3You’ve made your people suffer hardship;
you’ve given us wine and we stagger.
4Give a flag to those who honor you,
so they can rally around it,
safe from attack.#60.4 Or the bow; Heb uncertain Selah
5Save us by your power and answer us
so that the people you love might be rescued.
6God has spoken in his sanctuary:
“I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem
and portion out the Succoth Valley.
7Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
8But Moab is my washbowl;
I’ll throw my shoe at Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia!#60.8 Syr, Ps 108:9; MT Celebrate over me, Philistia!
9I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city!
I wish someone would lead me to Edom!”
10But you have rejected us, God, haven’t you?
God, you no longer accompany our armies.
11Give us help against the enemy;
human help is worthless.
12With God we will triumph;
he’s the one who will trample our adversaries.
