Psalms 60

To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.12 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh. 3Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver; 8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.3 9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?4 10Wilt thou not, O God, who hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, who didst not go out with our armies? 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.5 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down our enemies.
