Psalms 60:1-9 ▼

1 For the choir director. According to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David. For teaching. When he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry; Oh, restore us.

2 You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its breaches, for it shakes.

3 You have caused Your people to see hardship; You have given us wine to drink that causes reeling.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear You, In order to flee to it from the bow. Selah.

5 That Your beloved may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer us!

6 God has spoken in His holiness: “I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter.

8 Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe; Make a loud shout, O Philistia, because of Me!”

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