Psalms 60:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director: according to “The Lily of Testimony.” ”8224; A Miktam of David for teaching. When he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in Salt Valley, killing twelve thousand. ”8224; God, you have rejected us; you have broken us down; you have been angry. Restore us!

2 You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders.

3 You have made your people suffer hardship; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

4 You have given a signal flag to those who fear you, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah

5 Save with your right hand, and answer me, so that those you love may be rescued.

6 God has spoken in his sanctuary: “I will celebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

8 Moab is my washbasin. I throw my sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
