Psalm 60
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.
1 O God, thou hast rejected us,
and scatter’d us abroad:
thou hast displeased been with us,
return to us, O God.
2 The land to tremble thou hast caus’d,
thou it asunder brake:
do thou the breaches of it heal,
for it doth moving shake.
3 Thou hast unto thy people show’d
things that are hard, thou hast
also the cup of trembleing
given to them to taste.
4 But unto them that do thee fear,
a banner to display
thou given hast to be lift up
for thy truth’s sake. Selah.
5 That those who thy beloved are
delivered may be,
O do thou save with thy right hand,
and answer give to me.
6 God in his holiness hath spoke,
rejoice therein will I,
Shechem I will divide, and mete
of Succoth the valley.
7 To me doth Gilead appertain,
Manasseh mine besides:
Ephr’im the strength is of my head,
Judah my laws prescribes.
8 Moab’s my washpot, I will cast
over Edom my shoe,
O Palestine, because of me
be thou triumphant too.
