Psalms - Chapter 60 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A miktam of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.} You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry--now restore us!
  • 2. You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
  • 3. You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
  • 4. But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. Selah
  • 5. Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
  • 6. God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
  • 7. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
  • 8. Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
  • 9. Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
  • 10. Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
  • 11. Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
  • 12. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
