Psalm 60
60
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.

A Lament After a Defeat and a Prayer for Restoration
For the music director, according to Shushan Eduth.#Perhaps “The Lily of Testimony”
A miktam of David. To teach.
When he fought Mesopotamia and Aram Zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand persons.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first two verses of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by two
1O God, you have rejected us. You have broken us.
You have been angry. Restore us!
2You have made the land quake. You have split it open.
Heal its fissures, because it totters.
3You have shown your people hard things;
You have given us wine that staggers.
4You have rallied those who fear you round a banner
out of bowshot,#Literally “from the presence of the bow” Selah
5so that your beloved ones may be rescued.
Save by your right hand and answer us.
6God has spoken in his holiness,
“I will rejoice;
I will divide up Shechem,
and portion out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine,
and Ephraim is the helmet for#Literally “protection of” my head;
Judah is my scepter.#Or “commander’s rod”
8Moab is my washing pot;
over Edom, I will cast my sandal.
On account of me, O Philistia, raise a shout.”
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?
10Have not you yourself rejected us, O God,
and not gone out with our armies, O God?
11Give us help against the adversary,
for the help of humankind is futile.
12Through God we will do valiantly,#Literally “might”
and it is he who will tread down our enemies.
