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
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.
1God, you have rejected us.
You have broken us down.
You have been angry.
Restore us, again.
2You have made the land tremble.
You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
for it quakes.
3You have shown your people hard things.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4You have given a banner to those who fear you,
that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5So that your beloved may be delivered,
save with your right hand, and answer us.
6God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“I will triumph.
I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my wash basin.
I will throw my sandal on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who has led me to Edom?
10Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11Give us help against the adversary,
for the help of man is vain.
12Through God we will do valiantly,
for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
