PSALM 60
1 To victory, on the witnessing of the rose, the sweet song of David, to teach men, when he fought against Aram of floods, and Syria of Zobah; and Joab turned again, and smote Edom in the valley of salt pits, twelve thousand. God, thou hast put away us, and thou hast destroyed us; thou were wroth, and thou hast done mercy to us.
2 Thou movedest the earth, and thou troubledest it; make thou whole the sorrows thereof, for it is moved.
3 Thou showedest hard things to thy people; thou gavest drink to us with the wine of compunction.
4 Thou hast given a signifying to them that dread thee; that they flee from the face of the bow.
5 That thy darlings be delivered; make thou safe with thy right hand, and hear thou me*.
6 God spake by [or in] his holy place; I shall be glad, and I shall part Shechem, and I shall mete [or measure] the great valley of tabernacles.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of mine head. Judah is my king;
8 Moab is the pot of mine hope. Into Idumea I shall stretch forth my shoe; aliens be made subject to me.
9 Who shall lead me into a city made strong; who shall lead me into Idumea?
10 Whether not thou, God, that hast put away us; and shalt thou not, God, go out in our virtues?
11 Lord, give thou to us help out of tribulation; for the help of man is vain.
12 In God we shall make virtue; and he shall bring to nought them that trouble or disturb us.
