| Chapter 60 |
1 | To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. |
2 | Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. |
3 | Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. |
4 | Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. |
5 | That thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy right hand, and hear me. |
6 | God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. |
7 | Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver; |
8 | Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. |
9 | Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? |
10 | [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and [thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies? |
11 | Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man. |
12 | Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies. |
