Psalms 60
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; O restore us again.
2Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:
Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou hast shewed 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 mine 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 shall tread down our adversaries.

Psalms 60
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.
