Psalm 60

Through God We Shall Do Valiantly

For the choir director. According to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David. For teaching. When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us;

You have been angry; Oh, restore us.

You have made the land quake, You have split it open;

Heal its breaches, for it shakes.

You have caused Your people to see hardship;

You have given us wine to drink that causes reeling.

You have given a banner to those who fear You,

In order to flee to it from the bow. Selah.

That Your beloved may be rescued,

Save with Your right hand, and answer us!

God has spoken in His holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;

Judah is My scepter.

Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Make a loud shout, O Philistia, because of Me!”

Who will bring me into the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

Have You Yourself, O God, not rejected us?

And will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?

Oh give us help against the adversary,

For salvation by man is worthless.

Through God we shall do valiantly,

And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.
