Psalms 60

A Prayer for Deliverance#Ps 60 Hebrew title: A psalm by David, for teaching, when he fought against the Arameans from Naharaim and from Zobah, and Joab turned back and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.#2 Sam 8.13; 1 Chr 18.12
1You have rejected us, God, and defeated us;
you have been angry with us — but now turn back to us.#60.1 angry with us… us; or angry with us and turned your back on us.
2You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open;
now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.
3You have made your people suffer greatly;
we stagger around as though we were drunk.
4You have warned those who show you reverence,
so that they might escape destruction.
5Save us by your might; answer our prayer,
so that the people you love may be rescued.
6From his sanctuary#60.6 From his sanctuary; or In his holiness. God has said,
“In triumph I will divide Shechem
and distribute the Valley of Sukkoth to my people.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too;
Ephraim is my helmet
and Judah my royal sceptre.
8But I will use Moab as my washbasin
and I will throw my sandals on Edom,
as a sign that I own it.
Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?”
9Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Have you really rejected us?
Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
11Help us against the enemy;
human help is worthless.
12With God on our side we will win;
he will defeat 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.
