Parallel
Psalms 60
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam (note: Miktam is probably a musical or liturgical term; used for Psalms 16 and 56–60.) of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim (note: That is, Mesopotamia; Aram-naharaim means Aram of the two rivers, likely the region between the Euphrates and Balih Rivers in northwestern Mesopotamia.) and Aram-zobah (note: That is, the land northeast of Damascus), and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.

Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah

That Thy beloved may be delivered, Save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; That I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
Give us help against the adversary; For vain is the help of man.

Through God we shall do valiantly; For He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
60:12
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
