Psalms 60




1.  <<To the chief Musician * upon Shushaneduth, Michtam 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.>> 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.

6.  God 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, triumph * thou because of me.

9.  Who will bring * me into the strong 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 man.

12.  Through God we shall do * valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down * our enemies.
