Chapter Text
60:1 {To the chief Musician. On Shushan. Testimony. Michtam of David; to teach: when he strove with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zobah, and Joab returned, and smote the Edomites in the valley of salt, twelve thousand.} O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.
60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
60:3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.
60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)
60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.
60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
60:8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
60:10 [Wilt] not thou, O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
60:11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
