1 To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David.\

2 \60:1\For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt.

3 \60:1\God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.

4 \60:2\By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

5 \60:3\You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

6 \60:4\Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

7 \60:5\So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

8 \60:6\God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

9 \60:7\Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

10 \60:8\Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

11 \60:9\Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

12 \60:10\Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.

13 \60:11\Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

14 \60:12\Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

1 O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down;

Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

2 Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it:

Heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things:

Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee,

That it may be displayed because of the truth. [Selah

5 That thy beloved may be delivered,

Save with thy right hand, and answer us.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult;

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;

Ephraim also is the defence of my head;

Judah is my sceptre.

8 Moab is my washpot;

Upon Edom will I cast my shoe:

Philistia, shout thou because of me.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city?

Who hath led me unto Edom?

10 Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

11 Give us help against the adversary;

For vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly;

For he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
