Psalms 60

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.Michtam: or, A golden Psalm.

1O GodH430, thou hast cast us offH2186, thou hast scatteredH6555 us, thou hast been displeasedH599; O turn thyself to us againH7725.1

2Thou hast made the earthH776 to trembleH7493; thou hast brokenH6480 it: healH7495 the breachesH7667 thereof; for it shakethH4131.

3Thou hast shewedH7200 thy peopleH5971 hard thingsH7186: thou hast made us to drinkH8248 the wineH3196 of astonishmentH8653.

4Thou hast givenH5414 a bannerH5251 to them that fearH3373 thee, that it may be displayedH5127 becauseH6440 of the truthH7189. SelahH5542.

5That thy belovedH3039 may be deliveredH2502; saveH3467 with thy right handH3225, and hearH6030 me.

6GodH430 hath spokenH1696 in his holinessH6944; I will rejoiceH5937, I will divideH2505 ShechemH7927, and mete outH4058 the valleyH6010 of SuccothH5523.

7GileadH1568 is mine, and ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;

8MoabH4124 is my washpotH7366H5518; over EdomH123 will I cast outH7993 my shoeH5275: PhilistiaH6429, triumphH7321 thou because of me.2

9Who will bringH2986 me into the strongH4692 cityH5892? who will leadH5148 me into EdomH123?3

10Wilt not thou, O GodH430, which hadst cast us offH2186? and thou, O GodH430, which didst not go outH3318 with our armiesH6635?

11GiveH3051 us helpH5833 from troubleH6862: for vainH7723 is the helpH8668 of manH120.4

12Through GodH430 we shall doH6213 valiantlyH2428: for he it is that shall tread downH947 our enemiesH6862.
