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.

Psalm 60
For the music leader. According to “Lily.” A testimony. A miktam#60.0 Perhaps inscription of David. For instruction, when he went to war with Aram-naharaim and Aram-sobah, and when Joab returned and defeated Edom, killing twelve thousand in the Salt Valley.
1God, you have rejected us—
shattered us.
You’ve been so angry.
Now restore us!
2You’ve made the ground quake,
splitting it open.
Now repair its cracks
because it’s shaking apart!
3You’ve made your people suffer hardship;
you’ve given us wine and we stagger.
4Give a flag to those who honor you,
so they can rally around it,
safe from attack.#60.4 Or the bow; Heb uncertain Selah
5Save us by your power and answer us
so that the people you love might be rescued.
6God has spoken in his sanctuary:
“I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem
and portion out the Succoth Valley.
7Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
8But Moab is my washbowl;
I’ll throw my shoe at Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia!#60.8 Syr, Ps 108:9; MT Celebrate over me, Philistia!
9I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city!
I wish someone would lead me to Edom!”
10But you have rejected us, God, haven’t you?
God, you no longer accompany our armies.
11Give us help against the enemy;
human help is worthless.
12With God we will triumph;
he’s the one who will trample our adversaries.
