Psalms 60 For the conclusion. For those who are still to be changed. For a monumental inscription. By David, for instruction, when he had burned Syrian Mesopotamia, and Syrian Sobal; and Joab had returned, when he smote in the valley of Salt, twelve thousand. GOD, thou didst cast us off and destroy us; thou wast angry, but hast had compassion on us.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the conclusion. For those who are still to be changed. For a monumental inscription. By David, for instruction, when he had burned Syrian Mesopotamia, and Syrian Sobal; and Joab had returned, when he smote in the valley of Salt, twelve thousand. GOD, thou didst cast us off and destroy us; thou wast angry, but hast had compassion on us. ² Thou hast shaken the land and troubled it. Heal the breaches of it; for it hath been shaken. ³ Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of astonishment. ⁴ Thou hast given to them who fear thee, a signal to flee from the face of the bow; ⁵ that thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand and hearken to me. ⁶ God hath spoken in his sanctuary. I shall rejoice and divide Sikima, and mete out the valley of tents. ⁷ Galaad is mine; and mine is Manasses: Ephraim is the strength of my head; Juda, my king; ⁸ Moab is the cauldron of my hope. Over Idumea I will extend my march: to me the Philistines are subjected. ⁹ Who will lead me to the fortified city: Who will guide me to Idumea? ¹⁰ Wilt not thou, God, who didst cast us off; wilt not thou, God, go out with our armies? ¹¹ Grant us help, because of affliction; safety from man is indeed vain. ¹² Through God we can exert power, he can bring to nothing them who afflict us.
