Psalms 60

Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

For the music director; according to Lit The lily of testimonyShushan Eduth. A Possibly, Epigrammatic Poem or Atonement PsalmMikhtam of David, to teach; 2 Sam 8:3, 13; 1 Chr 18:3, 12when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

1God, 1You have rejected us. You have 2 3broken us; You have been 4angry; 5restore us!2You have made the 6 7land quake, You have split it open; 8Heal its cracks, for it sways.3You have 9 10made Your people experience hardship; You have given us 11wine to 12drink that makes us stagger.4You have given a 13banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah5 14That Your 15beloved may be rescued, 16Save us with Your right hand, and answer 17us!

6God has spoken in His 18 19holiness: “I will triumph, I will divide up 20Shechem, and measure out the Valley of 21Succoth.7 22Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; 23Ephraim also is the 24helmet of My head; Judah is My 25scepter.8 26Moab is My washbowl; I will throw My sandal over 27Edom; Shout loud, 28Philistia, because of Me!”

9Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who 29will lead me to Edom?10Have You Yourself not 30rejected us, God? And 31will You not go out with our armies, God?11Oh give us help against the enemy, For 32rescue 33by man is worthless.12 34Through God we will 35do valiantly, And it is He who will 36trample down our enemies.
