Psalms - Chapter 60

¹ [For the choirmaster To the tune 'The decree is a lily' In a quiet voice Of David To be learnt When he was at war with Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah, and Joab marched back to destroy twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt] God, you have rejected us, broken us, you were angry, come back to us!

² You made the earth tremble, split it open; now mend the rifts, it is tottering still.

³ You have forced your people to drink a bitter draught, forced us to drink a wine that made us reel.

⁴ You gave a signal to those who fear you to let them escape out of range of the bow.

⁵ To rescue those you love, save with your right hand and answer us.

⁶ God has spoken from his sanctuary, 'In triumph I will divide up Shechem, and share out the Valley of Succoth.

⁷ 'Mine is Gilead, mine Manasseh, Ephraim the helmet on my head, Judah my commander's baton,

⁸ 'Moab a bowl for me to wash in, on Edom I plant my sandal. Now try shouting "Victory!" over me, Philistia!'

⁹ Who will lead me against a fortified city, who will guide me into Edom,

¹⁰ if not you, the God who has rejected us? God, you no longer march with our armies.

¹¹ Bring us help in our time of crisis, any human help is worthless.

¹² With God we shall do deeds of valour, he will trample down our enemies.
