Psalms, Chapter 60

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