Psalms 60

LEB(i) 1 For the music director, according to Shushan Eduth.* 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.*
O God, you have rejected us. You have broken us. You have been angry. Restore us! 2 You have made the land quake. You have split it open. Heal its fissures, because it totters. 3 You have shown your people hard things; You have given us wine that staggers. 4 You have rallied those who fear you round a banner out of bowshot,* Selah 5 so that your beloved ones may be rescued. Save by your right hand and answer us. 6 God has spoken in his holiness, "I will rejoice; I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the valley of Succoth. 7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the helmet for* my head; Judah is my scepter.* 8 Moab is my washing pot; over Edom, I will cast my sandal. On account of me, O Philistia, raise a shout." 9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10 Have not you yourself rejected us, O God, and not gone out with our armies, O God? 11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of humankind is futile. 12 Through God we will do valiantly,* and it is he who will tread down our enemies.
