Psalms 60
60
For the choir director: A psalm#60:TITLE Hebrew miktam. This may be a literary or musical term. of David useful for teaching, regarding the time David fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. To be sung to the tune “Lily of the Testimony.”
1You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you—
a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5Now rescue your beloved people.
Answer and save us by your power.
6God has promised this by his holiness#60:6 Or in his sanctuary.:
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10Have you rejected us, O God?
Will you no longer march with our armies?
11Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.

He Will Tread Down Our Foes
To the choirmaster: according to #Ps. 80, title Shushan Eduth. A #See Ps. 16, title Miktam#60:1 Probably musical or liturgical terms of David; #Deut. 31:19 for instruction; when he #[2 Sam. 8:3, 13, 14; 10:16; 1 Chr. 18:3, 12]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.
1O God, #ver. 10; See Ps. 44:9 you have rejected us, #[2 Sam. 5:20] broken our defenses;
you have been angry; #See Ps. 80:3oh, restore us.
2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
# [2 Chr. 7:14] repair its breaches, for it totters.
3 #
Ps. 71:20 You have made your people see hard things;
#
Job 21:20 you have given us #Isa. 51:17, 22wine to drink that made us stagger.
4You have set up #Isa. 5:26; 11:12; 13:2; [Ps. 20:5] a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it #Prov. 22:21from the bow.#60:4 Or that it may be displayed because of truth Selah
5 # For ver. 5-12, see Ps. 108:6-13 That your #Deut. 33:12; Jer. 11:15beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
6God has spoken #Ps. 89:35; Amos 4:2 in his holiness:#60:6 Or sanctuary
“With exultation #[Josh. 1:6] I will divide up #Gen. 12:6; 33:18; Josh. 17:7 Shechem
and portion out the Vale of #Gen. 33:17; Josh. 13:27Succoth.
7 #
Josh. 13:31 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
#
Deut. 33:17 Ephraim is #Ps. 140:7 my helmet;
Judah is my #Gen. 49:10scepter.
8 # [2 Sam. 8:2] Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I #[Matt. 3:11] cast my shoe;
over #[2 Sam. 8:1]Philistia I shout in triumph.”#60:8 Revocalization (compare Psalm 108:10); Masoretic Text over me, O Philistia, shout in triumph
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
# [2 Sam. 8:14] Who will lead me to Edom?
10Have you not #ver. 1 rejected us, O God?
You #See Ps. 44:9do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
11Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for #[Ps. 146:3]vain is the salvation of man!
12With God we shall #Ps. 108:13; 118:15, 16; Num. 24:18 do valiantly;
it is he who will #Ps. 44:5; Isa. 63:3tread down our foes.
