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
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.
