Psalms 60

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

60:1
God, you have rejected us.
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!
60:2
You have made the land tremble.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
60:3
You have shown your people hard things.
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
60:4
You have given a banner to those who fear you,
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow (note: Or that it may be displayed because of truth). Selah
60:5
So that your beloved may be delivered,
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
60:6
God has spoken from his sanctuary:
God has spoken from His sanctuary (note: Or in His holiness): “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
60:7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
60:8
Moab is my wash basin.
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
60:9
Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
60:10
Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
60:11
Give us help against the adversary,
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
60:12
Through God we will do valiantly,
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
