Psalms 60

1 David, complaining to God of former judgment, 4 now, upon better hope, prayeth for deliverance. 6 Comforting himself in God's promises, he craveth that help whereupon he trusteth.

 60:1 ¶ [[To the Chief Musician. Upon "The Lily of Testimony." A precious Psalm of David, to instruct. When he waged war with Aram-neharaim, and with Aram-zobah,—and then Joab returned and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt, twelve thousand.]] O God, thou hast rejected us—hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?

 60:2 Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered:

 60:3 Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.

 60:4 Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. [Selah.]

 60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.

 60:6 ¶ God, hath spoken in his holiness—I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

 60:7 Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

 60:8 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph.

 60:9 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

 60:10 Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts?

 60:11 Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man:

 60:12 In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.
