Psalm 60

Psalm 60

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Lily of the Testimony.” A Michtam of David. For Teaching. When He Fought Against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab Returned and Killed Twelve Thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

¹O God, ^cYou have cast us off;

You have broken us down;

You have been displeased;

Oh, restore us again!

²You have made the earth tremble;

You have broken it;

^dHeal its breaches, for it is shaking.

^3eYou have shown Your people hard things;

^fYou have made us drink the wine of ²confusion.

^4gYou have given a banner to those who fear You,

That it may be displayed because of the truth.

Selah

^5hThat Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

⁶God has ⁱspoken in His holiness:

“I will rejoice;

I will ^jdivide ^kShechem

And measure out ^lthe Valley of Succoth.

⁷Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

^mEphraim also is the ³helmet for My head;

ⁿJudah is My lawgiver.

^8oMoab is My washpot;

^pOver Edom I will cast My shoe;

^qPhilistia, shout in triumph because of Me.”

⁹Who will bring me to the strong city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Is it not You, O God, ^rwho cast us off?

And You, O God, who did ^snot go out with our armies?

¹¹Give us help from trouble,

^tFor the help of man is useless.

¹²Through God ^uwe will do valiantly,

For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
