Psalms 60
Jewish Publication Society of America Version (JPS1917)
1 (60-1) For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; (60-2) when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. (60-3) O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
2 (60-4) Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
3 (60-5) Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4 (60-6) Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
5 (60-7) That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
6 (60-8) God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 (60-9) Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
8 (60-10) Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
9 (60-11) Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
10 (60-12) Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11 (60-13) Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
12 (60-14) Through God we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
