Psalm 60 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

(cf. Psa 108:6–13 )

Psa 60:1To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam[fn] 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.

Psa 60:2

Psa 60:2You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open;
repair its breaches, for it totters.

Psa 60:3

Psa 60:3You have made your people see hard things;
you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.

Psa 60:4

Psa 60:4You have set up a banner for those who fear you,
that they may flee to it from the bow.[fn] Selah

Psa 60:5

Psa 60:5That your beloved ones may be delivered,
give salvation by your right hand and answer us!

Psa 60:6

Psa 60:6God has spoken in his holiness:[fn]
“With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Vale of Succoth.

Psa 60:7

Psa 60:7Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine;
Ephraim is my helmet;
Judah is my scepter.

Psa 60:8

Psa 60:8Moab is my washbasin;
upon Edom I cast my shoe;
over Philistia I shout in triumph.”[fn]

Psa 60:9

Psa 60:9Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

Psa 60:10

Psa 60:10Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.

Psa 60:11

Psa 60:11Oh, grant us help against the foe,
for vain is the salvation of man!

Psa 60:12

Psa 60:12With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
