Psalm 60

Legacy Standard Bible

Through God We Shall Do Valiantly

For the choir director. According to ^[a]Shushan Eduth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David. For teaching. ^[c]When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 O God, ^(A)You have rejected us. You have ^[d]^(B)broken us;
You have been ^(C)angry; Oh, ^(D)restore us.
²You have made the ^[e]^(E)land quake, You have split it open;
^(F)Heal its breaches, for it shakes.
³You have ^(G)caused Your people to see hardship;
You have given us ^[f]wine to ^(H)drink that causes reeling.
⁴You have given a ^(I)banner to those who fear You,
^[g]In order to flee to it from the bow. ^[h]Selah.
⁵^(J)That Your ^(K)beloved may be rescued,
^(L)Save with Your right hand, and answer ^[i]us!

⁶God has spoken in His ^[j]^(M)holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out ^(N)Shechem and measure out the valley of ^(O)Succoth.
⁷^(P)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^(Q)Ephraim also is the ^[k]helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^[l]^(R)scepter.
⁸^(S)Moab is My washbowl;
Over ^(T)Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Make a loud shout, O ^(U)Philistia, because of Me!”

⁹Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who ^[m]will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Have You Yourself, O God, not ^(V)rejected us?
And ^(W)will You, O God, not go forth with our armies?
¹¹Oh give us help against the adversary,
For ^(X)salvation ^[n]by man is worthless.
¹²^[o]Through God we shall ^(Y)do valiantly,
And it is He who will ^(Z)tread down our adversaries.

Psalm 60

New International Version

Psalm 60^[a]^(A)

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam^[b] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim^[c] and Aram Zobah,^[d] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.^(B)

¹You have rejected us,^(C) God, and burst upon us;
    you have been angry^(D)—now restore us!^(E)
²You have shaken the land^(F) and torn it open;
    mend its fractures,^(G) for it is quaking.
³You have shown your people desperate times;^(H)
    you have given us wine that makes us stagger.^(I)
⁴But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner^(J)
    to be unfurled against the bow.^[e]

⁵Save us and help us with your right hand,^(K)
    that those you love^(L) may be delivered.
⁶God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem^(M)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.^(N)
⁷Gilead^(O) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim^(P) is my helmet,
    Judah^(Q) is my scepter.^(R)
⁸Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.^(S)”

⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?^(T)
¹¹Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.^(U)
¹²With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.^(V)
