Psalms 60

Urgent Prayer for the Restored Favor of God

To the Chief Musician. #Ps. 80Set to "Lily of the Testimony." A Michtam of David. For teaching. #2 Sam. 8:3, 13; 1 Chr. 18:3When he fought against Mesopotamia and Syria of Zobah, and Joab returned and killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

1 O God, *Ps. 44:9You have cast us off;

You have broken us down;

You have been displeased;

Oh, restore us again!

2 You have made the earth tremble;

You have broken it;

*(2 Chr. 7:14); Is. 30:26Heal its breaches, for it is shaking.

3 *Ps. 71:20You have shown Your people hard things;

*Is. 51:17, 22; Jer. 25:15You have made us drink the wine of confusion.

4 *Ps. 20:5; Is. 5:26; 11:12; 13:2You have given a banner to those who fear You,

That it may be displayed because of the truth.

Selah

5 *Ps. 108:6–13That Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and hear me.

6 God has *Ps. 89:35spoken in His holiness:

"I will rejoice;

I will *Josh. 1:6divide *Gen. 12:6Shechem

And measure out *Josh. 13:27the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;

*Deut. 33:17Ephraim also is the helmet for My head;

*(Gen. 49:10)Judah is My lawgiver.

8 *2 Sam. 8:2Moab is My washpot;

*2 Sam. 8:14; Ps. 108:9Over Edom I will cast My shoe;

*2 Sam. 8:1Philistia, shout in triumph because of Me."

9 Who will bring me to the strong city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

10 Isit not You, O God, *Ps. 108:11who cast us off?

And You, O God, who did *Josh. 7:12not go out with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble,

*Ps. 118:8; 146:3For the help of man is useless.

12 Through God *Num. 24:18we will do valiantly,

For itis He who shall tread down our enemies.
