60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David,
to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with
Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley
of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou
hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to
us again.
60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:
heal its breaches; for it shaketh.
60:3 Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast made us
to drink the wine of astonishment.
60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it
may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right
hand, and hear me.
60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will
divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]
the strength of my head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
60:8 Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me
into Edom?
60:10 [Wilt] thou not, O God, [who] hadst cast us off? and
[thou], O God, [who] didst not go out with our armies?
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he will tread down
our enemies.
