Psalm 60

English Standard Version Anglicised

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

To the choirmaster: according to ^(A)Shushan Eduth. A ^(B)Miktam^[a] of David; ^(C)for instruction; when he ^(D)strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 O God, ^(E)you have rejected us, ^(F)broken our defences;
    you have been angry; ^(G)oh, restore us.
²You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
    ^(H)repair its breaches, for it totters.
³^(I)You have made your people see hard things;
    ^(J)you have given us ^(K)wine to drink that made us stagger.
⁴You have set up ^(L)a banner for those who fear you,
    that they may flee to it ^(M)from the bow.^[b] Selah
⁵^(N)That your ^(O)beloved ones may be delivered,
    give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
⁶God has spoken ^(P)in his holiness:^[c]
    “With exultation ^(Q)I will divide up ^(R)Shechem
    and portion out the Vale of ^(S)Succoth.
⁷^(T)Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
    ^(U)Ephraim is ^(V)my helmet;
    Judah is my ^(W)sceptre.
⁸^(X)Moab is my washbasin;
    upon Edom I ^(Y)cast my shoe;
    over ^(Z)Philistia I shout in triumph.”^[d]
⁹Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    ^(AA)Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Have you not ^(AB)rejected us, O God?
    You ^(AC)do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
¹¹Oh, grant us help against the foe,
    for ^(AD)vain is the salvation of man!
¹²With God we shall ^(AE)do valiantly;
    it is he who will ^(AF)tread down our foes.

Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.

For the music director; according to ^[a]Shushan Eduth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David, to teach; ^[c]when he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 God, ^(A)You have rejected us. You have ^[d]^(B)broken us;
You have been ^(C)angry; ^(D)restore us!
²You have made the ^[e]^(E)land quake, You have split it open;
^(F)Heal its cracks, for it sways.
³You have ^[f]^(G)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us ^[g]wine to ^(H)drink that makes us stagger.
⁴You have given a ^(I)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
⁵^(J)That Your ^(K)beloved may be rescued,
^(L)Save us with Your right hand, and answer ^[h]us!

⁶God has spoken in His ^[i]^(M)holiness:
“I will triumph, I will divide up ^(N)Shechem, and measure out the Valley of ^(O)Succoth.
⁷^(P)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
^(Q)Ephraim also is the ^[j]helmet of My head;
Judah is My ^(R)scepter.
⁸^(S)Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over ^(T)Edom;
Shout loud, ^(U)Philistia, because of Me!”

⁹Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who ^[k]will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰Have You Yourself not ^(V)rejected us, God?
And ^(W)will You not go out with our armies, God?
¹¹Oh give us help against the enemy,
For ^(X)rescue ^[l]by man is worthless.
¹²^[m]Through God we will ^(Y)do valiantly,
And it is He who will ^(Z)trample down our enemies.
