Context of Psalms 60:12
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? Should 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.
