Psalm 60

For the music leader. According to “Lily.” A testimony. A miktam^[a] of David. For instruction, when he went to war with Aram-naharaim and Aram-sobah, and when Joab returned and defeated Edom, killing twelve thousand in the Salt Valley.

60 God, you have rejected us—
shattered us.
You’ve been so angry.
Now restore us!
²You’ve made the ground quake,
splitting it open.
Now repair its cracks
because it’s shaking apart!
³You’ve made your people suffer hardship;
you’ve given us wine and we stagger.
⁴Give a flag to those who honor you,
so they can rally around it,
safe from attack.^[b] Selah
⁵Save us by your power and answer us
so that the people you love might be rescued.

⁶God has spoken in his sanctuary:
“I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem
and portion out the Succoth Valley.
⁷ Gilead is mine;
Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.
⁸ But Moab is my washbowl;
I’ll throw my shoe at Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia!^[c]
⁹ I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city!
I wish someone would lead me to Edom!”

¹⁰But you have rejected us, God, haven’t you?
God, you no longer accompany our armies.
¹¹Give us help against the enemy;
human help is worthless.
¹²With God we will triumph;
he’s the one who will trample our adversaries.
