Psalms 60

Prayer in Difficult Times
For the choir director: according to “The Lily of Testimony.” # Possibly a tune; Pss 45; 69; 80 A Davidic Miktam for teaching. When he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in the Valley of Salt, killing 12,000. # 1Ch 18:3,12
1God, You have rejected us;
You have broken out # Lit have burst through against us;
You have been angry. Restore us! # Or Turn back to us # Ps 44:9,23; 79:5
2You have shaken the land and split it open.
Heal its fissures, for it shudders. # Ps 18:7
3You have made Your people suffer hardship;
You have given us wine to drink
that made us stagger. # Is 51:17-23; Jr 25:15-17
4You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers. # Or can rally before the archers, or can rally because of the truth # Is 5:26; 11:12; 13:2Selah
5Save with Your right hand, and answer me,
so that those You love may be rescued. # Ps 17:7; 20:6; 138:7
6God has spoken in His sanctuary: # Or has promised by His holy nature
“I will triumph! I will divide up Shechem. # Gn 12:6; 33:18
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth. # Gn 33:17
7Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine,
and Ephraim is My helmet; # Dt 33:17; Jos 13:31
Judah is My scepter. # Gn 49:10
8Moab is My washbasin. # 2Sm 8:2
I throw My sandal on Edom; # 2Sm 8:14
I shout in triumph over Philistia.” # 2Sm 8:1
9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom? # Jr 1:18
10God, haven’t You rejected us?
God, You do not march out with our armies. # Ps 44:9
11Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless. # Ps 146:3
12With God we will perform valiantly; # Nm 24:18; Ps 44:5; 118:15-16
He will trample our foes. # Ps 108:6-13

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.
