Psalm 60
NET Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleInternational Standard Version
1For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; a prayer of David written to instruct others. It was written when he fought against Aram Naharaim and Aram-Zobah. That was when Joab turned back and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us. You suddenly turned on us in your anger. Please restore us! 1God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us!
2You made the earth quake; you split it open. Repair its breaches, for it is ready to fall. 2You made the earth quake; you broke it open. Repair its fractures, because it has shifted.
3You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine. 3You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger.
4You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah) 4But you have given a banner to those who fear you, so they may display it in honor of truth. Interlude
5Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. 5So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly!
6God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Succoth I will measure off. 6Then God spoke in his holiness, "I will rejoice— I will divide Shechem; I will portion out the Succoth Valley.
7Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. 7Gilead belongs to me, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah my scepter.
8Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia." 8Moab is my wash basin; over Edom I will throw my shoes; over Philistia I will celebrate my triumph."
9Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? 9Who will lead me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. 10Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies?
11Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. 11Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless.
12By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies. 12Through God we will fight valiantly; and it is he who will crush our enemies.
