Psalms 60 — GNB

60Verse 1“For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!^{Verse 2}Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!^{Verse 3}Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.^{Verse 4}Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!^{Verse 5}That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!^{Verse 6}God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.^{Verse 7}Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;^{Verse 8}Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!^{Verse 9}Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?^{Verse 10}Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?^{Verse 11}Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!^{Verse 12}Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
