Psalms 60
60
Song of Victory Over Edom
1For the music director, on the “Lily of the Covenant,” a Michtam of David, for teaching,
2when he fought with Aram-Naharaim and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
3O God, You have spurned us. You have broken out against us. You have been angry. Turn back to us!
4You made earth shake; You split it open. Heal its fractures—for it shudders.
5You made Your people see hardship. You made us drink wine of staggering.
6To those who fear You, You gave a banner, to be unfurled before the archers. Selah
7Save with Your right hand and answer us, so that Your beloved may be delivered.
8God has spoken in His holiness: “I will exult! I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the valley of Succoth.
9Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine, Ephraim is a helmet for my head, Judah is my scepter.
10Moab is my washbasin, On Edom I toss my sandal, Philistia, cry aloud because of me!”
11Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
12Should it not be You, O God— who spurned us and no longer goes out with our armies?
13Give us aid against the adversary, for the help of man is worthless.
14With God we will do mighty things, and He will trample our foes.

Psalm 60
For the choir director; according to shushan eduth; #60:0 Unknown musical term. a miktam by David; for teaching. When David fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and ⌞when⌟ Joab came back and killed 12,000 men from Edom in the Dead Sea region.
1O God, you have rejected us.
You have broken down our defenses.
You have been angry.
Restore us!
2You made the land quake.
You split it wide open.
Heal the cracks in it
because it is falling apart.
3You have made your people experience hardships.
You have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4Yet, you have raised a flag for those who fear you
so that they can rally to it
when attacked by bows ⌞and arrows⌟. Selah
5Save ⌞us⌟ with your powerful hand, and answer us
so that those who are dear to you may be rescued.#60:5 Verses 5–12 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 108:6–13.
6God has promised the following through his holiness:
“I will triumph!
I will divide Shechem.
I will measure the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine.
Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim is the helmet on my head.
Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my washtub.
I will throw my shoe over Edom.
I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Isn’t it you, O God, who rejected us?
Isn’t it you, O God, who refused to accompany our armies?
11Give us help against the enemy
because human assistance is worthless.
12With God we will display great strength.
He will trample our enemies.
