The Psalms
Psalm 60
[For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] O God, Thou hast rejected us. Thou hast broken us; Thou hast been angry; O, restore us.
Thou hast made the land quake, Thou hast split it open; Heal its breaches, for it totters.
Thou hast made Thy people experience hardship; Thou hast given us wine to drink that makes us stagger.
Thou hast given a banner to those who fear Thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah].
That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer us!
God has spoken in His holiness: "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.
"Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter.
"Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Shout loud, O Philistia, because of Me!"
Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Hast not Thou Thyself, O God, rejected us? And wilt Thou not go forth with our armies, O God?
O give us help against the adversary, For deliverance by man is in vain.
Through God we shall do valiantly, And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
