60:1 To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David;for instruction;when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, thou hast rejected us, broken our defenses;thou hast been angry;oh, restore us. 60:2 Thou hast made the land to quake, thou hast rent it open;repair its breaches, for it totters. 60:3 Thou hast made thy people suffer hard things;thou hast given us wine to drink that made us reel. 60:4 Thou hast set up a banner for those who fear thee, to rally to it from the bow. [Selah] 60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered, give victory by thy right hand and answer us! 60:6 God has spoken in his sanctuary: 'With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 60:7 Gilead is mine;Manas'seh is mine;E'phraim is my helmet;Judah is my scepter. 60:8 Moab is my washbasin;upon Edom I cast my shoe;over Philistia I shout in triumph.' 60:9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 60:10 Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies. 60:11 O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man! 60:12 With God we shall do valiantly;it is he who will tread down our foes. 60:13 60:14
