Psalm 60

60:1

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

60:2

You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.

60:3

You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.

60:4

You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah

60:5

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

60:6

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

60:7

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

60:8

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

60:9

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

60:10

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

60:11

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

60:12

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
