Psalm 60
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
You have broken us down.
You have been angry.
Restore us, again.
You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
for it quakes.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
save with your right hand, and answer us.
“I will triumph.
I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth.
Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
Judah is my scepter.
I will throw my sandal on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Who has led me to Edom?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
for the help of man is vain.
for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
