Psalms
To the director; set to “The Lily of Reminder.” Mikʹtam.* Of David. For teaching. When he fought with Aʹram-na·ha·raʹim and Aʹram-Zoʹbah, and Joʹab returned and struck down 12,000 Eʹdom·ites in the Valley of Salt.+
60 O God, you rejected us; you broke through our defenses.+
You were angry with us; but now accept us back!
2 You caused the earth to quake; you split it open.
Repair its breaches, for it is falling.
3 You caused your people to suffer hardship.
You made us drink wine that makes us stagger.+
4 Give* a signal to those fearing you
To flee and dodge the bow. (Selah)
5 So that your loved ones may be rescued,
Save us with your right hand and answer us.+
6 God has spoken in his holiness:*
“I will exult, I will give out Sheʹchem as an inheritance,+
7 Gilʹe·ad belongs to me, as does Ma·nasʹseh,+
And Eʹphra·im is the helmet* for my head;
Judah is my commander’s staff.+
8 Moʹab is my washbasin.+
Over Eʹdom I will throw my sandal.+
Over Phi·lisʹti·a I will shout in triumph.”+
9 Who will bring me to the besieged* city?
Who will lead me as far as Eʹdom?+
10 Is it not you, O God, who have rejected us,
Our God, who no longer goes out with our armies?+
11 Help us in our distress,
For salvation by humans is worthless.+
