60:1 To the leader: according to The Lily of the Covenant. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defences; you have been angry; now restore us!
60:2 You have caused the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
60:3 You have made your people suffer hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us reel.
60:4 You have set up a banner for those who fear you, to rally to it out of bowshot.Selah
60:5 Give victory with your right hand, and answer us, so that those whom you love may be rescued.
60:6 God has promised in his sanctuary: ‘With exultation I will divide up Shechem, and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my sceptre.
60:8 Moab is my wash-basin; on Edom I hurl my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.’
60:9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
60:10 Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
60:11 O grant us help against the foe, for human help is worthless.
60:12 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
