Psalms 60 LSV

1. TO THE OVERSEER. SET ON “LILY OF TESTIMONY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, TO TEACH, IN HIS STRIVING WITH ARAM-NAHARAIM AND WITH ARAM-ZOBAH, WHEN JOAB TURNS BACK AND STRIKES EDOM IN THE VALLEY OF SALT—TWELVE THOUSAND. O God, You had cast us off, you had broken us—had been angry! You turn back to us.

2. You have caused the land to tremble, you have broken it, heal its breaches, for it has moved.

3. You have shown Your people a hard thing, you have caused us to drink wine of trembling.

4. You have given an ensign to those fearing You, to be lifted up as an ensign because of truth. Selah.

5. That Your beloved ones may be drawn out, save with Your right hand, and answer us.

6. God has spoken in His holiness: I exult—I apportion Shechem, and I measure the Valley of Succoth,

7. Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine, and Ephraim is the strength of My head, judah is My lawgiver,

8. Moab is My pot for washing, over Edom I cast My shoe, shout, concerning Me, O Philistia.

9. Who brings me to a city of bulwarks? Who has led me to Edom?

10. Is it not You, O God? Have You cast us off? And do You not go forth, O God, with our hosts?

11. Give to us help from adversity, and the deliverance of man is vain.

12. We do mightily in God, and He treads down our adversaries!
