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
Song of Victory Over Edom
1For the music director, on the “Lily of the Covenant,” a Michtam of David, for teaching,
2when he fought with Aram-Naharaim and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
3O God, You have spurned us. You have broken out against us. You have been angry. Turn back to us!
4You made earth shake; You split it open. Heal its fractures—for it shudders.
5You made Your people see hardship. You made us drink wine of staggering.
6To those who fear You, You gave a banner, to be unfurled before the archers. Selah
7Save with Your right hand and answer us, so that Your beloved may be delivered.
8God has spoken in His holiness: “I will exult! I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the valley of Succoth.
9Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine, Ephraim is a helmet for my head, Judah is my scepter.
10Moab is my washbasin, On Edom I toss my sandal, Philistia, cry aloud because of me!”
11Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
12Should it not be You, O God— who spurned us and no longer goes out with our armies?
13Give us aid against the adversary, for the help of man is worthless.
14With God we will do mighty things, and He will trample our foes.
