Psalms 60
Lament over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.
For the choir director; according to [a]Shushan Eduth. A [b]Mikhtam of David, to teach; [c]when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
1 O God, (a)You have rejected us. You have [d](b)broken us;
You have been (c)angry; O, (d)restore us.
2 You have made the [e](e)land quake, You have split it open;
(f)Heal its breaches, for it totters.
3 You have [f](g)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us [g]wine to (h)drink that makes us stagger.
4 You have given a (i)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. [h]Selah.
5 (j)That Your (k)beloved may be delivered,
(l)Save with Your right hand, and answer [i]us!
6 God has spoken in His [j](m)holiness:
"I will exult, I will portion out (n)Shechem and measure out the valley of (o)Succoth.
7 "(p)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
(q)Ephraim also is the [k]helmet of My head;
Judah is My [l](r)scepter.
8 "(s)Moab is My washbowl;
Over (t)Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Shout loud, O (u)Philistia, because of Me!"
9 Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who [m]will lead me to Edom?
10 Have not You Yourself, O God, (v)rejected us?
And (w)will You not go forth with our armies, O God?
11 O give us help against the adversary,
For (x)deliverance [n]by man is in vain.
12 [o]Through God we shall (y)do valiantly,
And it is He who will (z)tread down our adversaries.
