Psalms 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. O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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.

O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;
Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again. ² Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:
Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. ³ Thou hast showed thy people hard things:
Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering. ⁴ Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah
⁵ That thy beloved may be delivered,
Save with thy right hand, and answer us. ⁶ God hath spoken in his holiness:
I will exult;
I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. ⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim also is the defence of my head;
Judah is my sceptre. ⁸ Moab is my washpot;
Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:
Philistia, shout thou because of me. ⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who hath led me unto Edom? ¹⁰ Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?
And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts. ¹¹ Give us help against the adversary;
For vain is the help of man. ¹² Through God we shall do valiantly;
For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
