Psalms 60

To the director; for the changings; for an inscription on a monument; to David; for teaching when he set on fire Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Zobah; and Joab returned and struck Edom in the ravine of salts -- twelve thousand.

60:1O God, you thrusted us away, and demolished us. You were provoked to anger, yet you pitied us.

60:2You shook the earth, and disturbed it. Heal its breaks! for it was shaken.

60:3You showed to your people hard things; you watered us down with the wine of vexation.

60:4You gave to the ones fearing you a signal to flee from the face of the bow. PAUSE.

60:5So that your beloved should be rescued. Deliver with your hand, and heed me!

60:6God spoke in his holy place; I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and the valley of the tents I will measure out.

60:7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the fortification of my head; Judah is my king;

60:8Moab is a kettle of my hope; over Edom I will stretch out my sandal. The Philistines submitted to me.

60:9Who shall take me away into the city citadel? Or who shall guide me unto Edom?

60:10Will not you, O God, the one thrusting us away? And will you not go forth, O God, with our forces?

60:11Give to us help from affliction! for deliverance of man is vain.

60:12In God we do powerfully, and he shall treat with contempt the ones afflicting us.
