Psalms - Chapter 60 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us.
  • 2. You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters.
  • 3. You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
  • 4. You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah.
  • 5. That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
  • 6. God has spoken in his holiness: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
  • 7. Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
  • 8. Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
  • 9. Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
  • 10. Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
  • 11. Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!
  • 12. With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
