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.

Psalms 60

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.
