Psalm 60 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Prayer in Difficult Times

For the choir director: according to “The Lily of Testimony.” A Miktam of David for teaching. When he fought with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck Edom in Salt Valley, killing twelve thousand.

(cf. Psa 108:6–13 )

Psa 60:1

God, you have rejected us;

you have broken us down;

you have been angry. Restore us![fn]

Psa 60:2

You have shaken the land and split it open.

Heal its fissures, for it shudders.

Psa 60:3

You have made your people suffer hardship;

you have given us wine to drink

that made us stagger.

Psa 60:4

You have given a signal flag to those who fear you,

so that they can flee before the archers.[fn]Selah

Psa 60:5

Save with your right hand, and answer me,

so that those you love may be rescued.

Psa 60:6

God has spoken in his sanctuary:[fn]

“I will celebrate!

I will divide up Shechem.

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

Psa 60:7

“Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine,

and Ephraim is my helmet;

Judah is my scepter.

Psa 60:8

“Moab is my washbasin.

I throw my sandal on Edom;

I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

Psa 60:9

Who will bring me to the fortified city?

Who will lead me to Edom?

Psa 60:10

God, haven’t you rejected us?

God, you do not march out with our armies.

Psa 60:11

Give us aid against the foe,

for human help is worthless.

Psa 60:12

With God we will perform valiantly;

he will trample our foes.
