Psalm 60:title–12

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

60To the choirmaster: according to ^fShushan Eduth. A ^gMiktam¹ of David; ^hfor instruction; when he ⁱstrove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

¹O God, ^jyou have rejected us, ^kbroken our defenses;

you have been angry; ^loh, restore us.

²You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;

^mrepair its breaches, for it totters.

³ⁿYou have made your people see hard things;

^oyou have given us ^pwine to drink that made us stagger.

⁴You have set up ^qa banner for those who fear you,

that they may flee to it ^rfrom the bow.² Selah

^5sThat your ^tbeloved ones may be delivered,

give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

⁶God has spoken ^uin his holiness:³

“With exultation ^vI will divide up ^wShechem

and portion out the Vale of ^xSuccoth.

^7yGilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;

^zEphraim is ^amy helmet;

Judah is my ^bscepter.

^8cMoab is my washbasin;

upon Edom I ^dcast my shoe;

over ^ePhilistia I shout in triumph.”⁴

⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?

^fWho will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have you not ^grejected us, O God?

You ^hdo not go forth, O God, with our armies.

¹¹Oh, grant us help against the foe,

for ⁱvain is the salvation of man!

¹²With God we shall ^jdo valiantly;

it is he who will ^ktread down our foes.
