Psalm 60 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.

¹ O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O 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 shewed 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 mine 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 shall tread down our adversaries.
