For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten [in] the valley of salt twelve thousand.

60:1 O God, thou hast rejected and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.

60:2 Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.

60:3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine of astonishment.

60:4 Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.

60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

60:6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.

60:7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head;

60:8 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.

60:9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?

60:10 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our forces?

60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.

60:12 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that harass us.

To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

60:1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

60:3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

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 may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

60:8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

60:10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
