Psalms 60

Psalm 60 ESV

1David complaining to God of former judgments, 4now upon better hope prayeth for deliverance: 6comforting himself in God's promises, he craveth that help whereon he trusteth.
To the choirmaster: according to 1Shushan Eduth. A 2Miktama of David; 3for instruction; when he 4strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
1 O God, 1you have rejected us, 2broken our defenses; you have been angry; 3oh, restore us.
2 You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; 1repair its breaches, for it totters.
3 1You have made your people see hard things; 2you have given us 3wine to drink that made us stagger.
4 You have set up 1a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it 2from the bow.a Selah
5 1That your 2beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
6 God has spoken 1in his holiness:a “With exultation 2I will divide up 3Shechem and portion out the Vale of 4Succoth.
7 1Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; 2Ephraim is 3my helmet; Judah is my 4scepter.
8 1Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I 2cast my shoe; over 3Philistia I shout in triumph.”a
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? 1Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Have you not 1rejected us, O God? You 2do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
11 Oh, grant us help against the foe, for 1vain is the salvation of man!
12 With God we shall 1do valiantly; it is he who will 2tread down our foes.
