Psalm 60

NASB

Psalm 60

Lament over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director; according to ^(a)Shushan Eduth. A ^(b)Mikhtam of David, to teach; ^(c)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, ^(A)You have rejected us. You have ^(d)^(B)broken us;
You have been ^(C)angry; O, ^(D)restore us.

^{Tools
2}

You have made the ^(e)^(E)land quake, You have split it open;
^(F)Heal its breaches, for it totters.

^{Tools
3}

You have ^(f)^(G)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us ^(g)wine to ^(H)drink that makes us stagger.

^{Tools
4}

You have given a ^(I)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. ^(h)Selah.

^{Tools
5}

^(J)That Your ^(K)beloved may be delivered,
^(L)Save with Your right hand, and answer ⁽ⁱ⁾us!

^{Tools
6}

God has spoken in His ^(j)^(M)holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out ^(N)Shechem and measure out the valley of ^(O)Succoth.

^{Tools
7}

“^(P)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^(Q)Ephraim also is the ^(k)helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^(l)^(R)scepter.

^{Tools
8}

“^(S)Moab is My washbowl;
Over ^(T)Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Shout loud, O ^(U)Philistia, because of Me!”

^{Tools
9}

Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who ^(m)will lead me to Edom?

^{Tools
10}

Have not You Yourself, O God, ^(V)rejected us?
And ^(W)will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

^{Tools
11}

O give us help against the adversary,
For ^(X)deliverance ⁽ⁿ⁾by man is in vain.

^{Tools
12}

^(o)Through God we shall ^(Y)do valiantly,
And it is He who will ^(Z)tread down our adversaries.
