Psalm chapter 60
English Standard Version
1To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. 2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. 3You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. 4You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah 5That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! 6God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. 8Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. 11Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! 12With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
New International Version
1For the director of music. To the tune of 'The Lily of the Covenant.' A miktam of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; you have been angry--now restore us! 2You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking. 3You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. 5Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. 6God has spoken from his sanctuary: 'In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.' 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? 11Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. 12With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
New American Standard Bible
1 God, You have rejected us. You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us! 2You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its cracks, for it sways. 3You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger. 4You have given a banner to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah 5That Your beloved may be rescued, Save us with Your right hand, and answer us! 6God has spoken in His holiness: 'I will triumph, I will divide up Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of My head; Judah is My scepter. 8Moab is My washbowl; I will throw My sandal over Edom; Shout loud, Philistia, because of Me!' 9Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10Have You Yourself not rejected us, God? And will You not go out with our armies, God? 11Oh give us help against the enemy, For rescue by man is worthless. 12Through God we will do valiantly, And it is He who will trample down our enemies.
Christian Standard Bible
1God, you have rejected us; you have broken us down; you have been angry. Restore us! 2You have shaken the land and split it open. Heal its fissures, for it shudders. 3You have made your people suffer hardship; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
4You have given a signal flag to those who fear you, so that they can flee before the archers. Selah
5Save with your right hand, and answer me, so that those you love may be rescued. 6God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will celebrate! I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the Valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8Moab is my washbasin. I throw my sandal on Edom; I shout in triumph over Philistia." 9Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 10God, haven't you rejected us? God, you do not march out with our armies. 11Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless. 12With God we will perform valiantly; he will trample our foes.
New Living Translation
1For the choir director: A psalm of David useful for teaching, regarding the time David fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. To be sung to the tune 'Lily of the Testimony.' You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor. 2You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles. 3You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
5Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power. 6God has promised this by his holiness: 'I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings. 8But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.'
9Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom? 10Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies? 11Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless. 12With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
King James Version
1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. 2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. 5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? 11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
