TEHILLIM 60

1 (For the one directing. Set to The Shushan of the Edut. Mikhtam Dovid to instruct. 2 When he fought Aram Naharayim and Aram Tzovah and when Yoav returned and struck down 12,000 of Edom in the Gey Melach)

3 O Elohim, Thou hath rejected us, scattered us;

Thou hast been angry; O restore us!

4 Thou hast made eretz to tremble; Thou hast torn it asunder,

heal the fractures thereof; for it tottereth.

5 Thou hast showed Thy people kashah (hard times);

Thou hast made us to drink the yayin of tarelah (bewilderment, reeling).

6 Thou hast set up a nes (banner) to them that fear Thee,

that it may be unfurled on account of the truth.

Selah

7 That Thy Yedidot (beloved ones) may be saved;

save with Thy Yamin (Right Hand) and hear me.

8 Elohim hath spoken in His Kodesh (Holiness);

I will exult,

I will parcel Shechem as chelek,

and measure out the Valley of Sukkot.

9 Gil’ad is Mine, and Menasheh is Mine;

Ephrayim also is the ma’oz of Mine Rosh;

Yehudah is My Mekhokek (prescriber of laws, lawgiver).*60:9 See Gn 49:10; Isa 42:4 on Moshiachʼs torah

10 Moav is My washpot;

over Edom will I cast My sandal;

over Philistia I shout in triumph.

11 Who will bring me to the Ir Matzon (city of fortification)?

Who will bring me to Edom?

12 Wilt not Thou, O Elohim, which hadst cast us off?

And Thou, O Elohim, which didst not go out with tzivoteinu (our armies)?

13 Give us help against the enemy;

for vain is the teshuat adam (help, salvation of or from Man).

14 In Elohim shall we obtain the victory;

for He it is that shall tread down tzareinu (our enemies, oppressors).
