Psalm 60

Through God We Shall Do Valiantly

For the choir director. According to ^{▼▼Lit The lily of testimony}Shushan Eduth. A ^{▼▼Possibly Epigrammatic Poem, Atonement Psalm}Mikhtam of David. For teaching. ^{▼▼2 Sam 8:3, 13; 1 Chr 18:3, 12}When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

1 O God, You have rejected us. You have ^{▼▼Or broken out upon us}broken us;
You have been angry; Oh, restore us.
2 You have made the ^{▼▼Or earth}land quake, You have split it open;
Heal its breaches, for it shakes.
3 You have caused Your people to see hardship;
You have given us ^{▼▼Lit wine of staggering}wine to drink that causes reeling.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear You,
^{▼▼ Or That it may be displayed because of the truth}In order to flee to it from the bow. ^{▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude}Selah.
5 That Your beloved may be rescued,
Save with Your right hand, and answer ^{▼▼Some mss me}us!
6 God has spoken in His ^{▼▼Or sanctuary}holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 “Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the ^{▼▼Lit protection}helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^{▼▼Or lawgiver}scepter.
8 “Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Make a loud shout, O Philistia, because of Me!”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who ^{▼▼Or has led}will lead me to Edom?
10 Have You Yourself, O God, not rejected us?
And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?
11 Oh give us help against the adversary,
For salvation ^{▼▼Lit of}by man is worthless.
12 ^{▼▼ Or In, With}Through God we shall do valiantly,
And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
