Psalm 60
60
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.
1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou has scattered us,
Thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:
Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things:
Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
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 hear me.
6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
And mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8Moab is my washpot; Over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off?
And thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11Give us help from trouble:
For vain is the help of man.
12Through God we shall do valiantly:
For he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

1For the leader. Set to “Lily of Testimony.” A mikhtam of David for teaching about 2when he fought with Aram-Naharayim and with Aram-Tzovah, and Yo’av returned and killed 12,000 from Edom in the Salt Valley:
3God, you rejected us; you crushed us;
you were angry; but now revive us.
4You made the land shake, split it apart;
now repair the rifts, for it is collapsing.
5You made your people suffer hard times,
had us drink a wine that made us stagger.
6To those who fear you because of the truth
you gave a banner to rally around, (Selah)
7so that those you love could be rescued;
so save with your right hand, and answer us!
8God in his holiness spoke,
and I took joy [in his promise]:
“I will divide Sh’khem
and determine the shares in the Sukkot Valley.
9Gil‘ad is mine and M’nasheh mine,
Efrayim my helmet, Y’hudah my scepter.
10Mo’av is my washpot; on Edom I throw my shoe;
P’leshet, be crushed because of me!”
11Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
12God, have you rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
13Help us against our enemy,
for human help is worthless.
14With God’s help we will fight valiantly,
for he will trample our enemies.
