RSV Psalms 60 Chapter
60:1
To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David;for instruction;when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, thou hast rejected us, broken our defenses;thou hast been angry;oh, restore us.
60:2
Thou hast made the land to quake, thou hast rent it open;repair its breaches, for it totters.
60:3
Thou hast made thy people suffer hard things;thou hast given us wine to drink that made us reel.
60:4
Thou hast set up a banner for those who fear thee, to rally to it from the bow. [Selah]
60:5
That thy beloved may be delivered, give victory by thy right hand and answer us!
60:6
God has spoken in his sanctuary: 'With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
60:7
Gilead is mine;Manas'seh is mine;E'phraim is my helmet;Judah is my scepter.
60:8
Moab is my washbasin;upon Edom I cast my shoe;over Philistia I shout in triumph.'
60:9
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
60:10
Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.
60:11
O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man!
60:12
With God we shall do valiantly;it is he who will tread down our foes.
