60:1 To the Chief Musician; set to [the tune of] “The Lily of the Testimony.” A Mikhtam of David [intended to record memorable thoughts and] to teach; when he struggled with the Arameans of Mesopotamia and the Arameans of Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us; You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us.
60:2 You have made the land quake, You have split it open; Heal its rifts, for it shakes and totters.
60:3 You have made Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger and fall.
60:4 You have set up a banner for those who fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder—a banner to shield them from attack], A banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That Your beloved ones may be rescued, Save with Your right hand and answer us.
60:6 God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]: “I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east].
60:7 “Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet; Judah is My scepter.
60:8 “Moab is My washbowl; Over Edom I shall throw My shoe [in triumph]; Over Philistia I raise the shout [of victory].”
60:9 Who will bring me into the besieged city [of Petra]? Who will lead me to Edom?
60:10 Have You not rejected us, O God? And will You not go out with our armies?
60:11 Give us help against the enemy, For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose).
60:12 Through God we will have victory, For He will trample down our enemies.
