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 struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. 60:2 You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. 60:3 You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. 60:4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah 60:5 That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! 60:6 God has spoken in his holiness: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 60:7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim 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 Have you not rejected us, O God You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. 60:11 Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! 60:12 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
