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.

Psalms 60
60
Victory with God
(2 Samuel 8:1–14; 1 Chronicles 18:1–13; Psalms 108:1–13)
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam #60:0 Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60. of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim #60:0 That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia. and Aram-zobah,#60:0 That is, the land northeast of Damascus and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1You have rejected us, O God;
You have broken us;
You have been angry;
restore us!
2You have shaken the land
and torn it open.
Heal its fractures,
for it is quaking.
3You have shown Your people hardship;
we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4You have raised a banner for those who fear You,
that they may flee the bow.#60:4 Or that it may be displayed because of truth
Selah
5Respond and save us with Your right hand,
that Your beloved may be delivered.
6God has spoken from His sanctuary:#60:6 Or in His holiness
“I will triumph!
I will parcel out Shechem
and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8Moab is My washbasin;
upon Edom I toss My sandal;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Have You not rejected us, O God?
Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11Give us aid against the enemy,
for the help of man is worthless.
12With God we will perform with valor,
and He will trample our enemies.
