Ps 60
1
For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction,
when he had burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab had returned and
smitten in the valley of salt twelve thousand. - O God, you have rejected and destroyed
us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
2
You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3
You have shewn your people hard things: you has made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4
You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
5
That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out
the valley of tents.
7
Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the Or, strengthening strength of my head;
8
Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my
shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9
Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10
Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with
our forces?
11
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12
In God will we Gr. work power do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
