Psa 60:1[fn]For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A miktam[fn] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim[fn] and Aram Zobah,[fn] 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!
