Psalm On Demand - Psalm 60

Psalm 60

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.”

A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60:1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down.

You have been angry. Restore us, again.

60:2 You have made the land tremble.

You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

60:3 You have shown your people hard things.

You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

60:4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,

that it may be displayed because of the truth.

Selah.

60:5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

60:6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

“I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

60:8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom.

I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who has led me to Edom?

60:10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?

You don’t go out with our armies, God.

60:11 Give us help against the adversary,

for the help of man is vain.

60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly,

for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
