PSALM 60
To the chief Musician upon
Shushaneduth, Michtama 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.
1 O God,
thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O
turn thyself to us again. 2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble;
thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 3
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine
of astonishment. 4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear
thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 5 That
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 mete out the
valley of Succoth. 7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is
mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my
lawgiver; 8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out
my shoe: Philistia, triumphb thou because of me. 9
Who will bring me into the strongc city? who will lead me
into Edom? 10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst
cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our
armies? 11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help
of mand.
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that
shall tread down our enemies.
