Psalm 60:1-2

1599 Geneva Bible

60 1 David being now king over Judah, and having had many victories, showeth by evident signs that God elected him King, assuring the people that God will prosper them, if they approve the same. 14 After, he prayeth unto God to finish that that he hath begun.

To him that excelleth upon ^[a]Shushan Eduth, or Michtam. A Psalm of David to teach. ^(A)When he fought against ^[b]Aram Naharaim, and against Aram ^[c]Zobah, when Joab returned and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the salt valley.

¹O God, thou hast cast us out, thou hast ^[d]scattered us, thou hast been angry, turn again unto us.

²Thou hast made the land to tremble, and hast made it to ^[e]gape: heal the breaches thereof, for it is shaken.
