Psalms 60

¹To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] "The Lily of the Testimony." A Mikhtam of David [intended to record memorable thoughts and] to teach; when he struggled with the Arameans of Mesopotamia and the Arameans of Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us; You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us.

²You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its rifts, for it shakes and totters.

³You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger and fall.

⁴You have set up a banner for those who fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder—a banner to shield them from attack], A banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

⁵That Your beloved ones may be rescued, Save with Your right hand and answer us.

⁶God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]: "I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east].

⁷"Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter.

⁸"Moab is My[1] washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe [in triumph]; Over Philistia I raise the shout [of victory]."

⁹Who will bring me into the besieged city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom?

¹⁰Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out with our armies?

¹¹Give us help against the enemy, For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose).

¹²Through God we will have victory, For He will trample down our enemies.
