Psalms 60

For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth. Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.

1O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again. 2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 3Thou hast showed thy people hard things:Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering. 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah

5That thy beloved may be delivered,Save with thy right hand, and answer us. 6God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;Ephraim also is the defence of my head;Judah is my sceptre. 8Moab is my washpot;Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:Philistia, shout thou because of me. 9Who will bring me into the strong city?Who hath led me unto Edom? 10Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. 11Give us help against the adversary;For vain is the help of man. 12Through God we shall do valiantly;For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
