For the end, for them that shall yet be
changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he [had] burned
Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab [had] returned and smitten
[in] the valley of salt twelve thousand. 60:1 O God, thou hast rejected
and destroyed us; thou hast been angry, yet hast pitied us.
60:2 Thou hast shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it
has been shaken.
60:3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things: thou has made us drink the wine
of astonishment.
60:4 Thou hast given a token to them that fear thee, that they might flee
from the bow. Pause.
60:5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and
hear me.
60:6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and
measure out the valley of tents.
60:7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my
head;
60:8 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I
stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
60:9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a
Idumea?
60:10 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God,
go forth with our forces?
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
60:12 In God will we do valiantly; and he shall bring to nought them that
harass us. |
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth,
Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with
Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt
twelve thousand. 60:1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered
us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
60:2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the
breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
60:3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the
wine of astonishment.
60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
displayed because of the truth. Selah.
60:5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear
me.
60:6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
and mete out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of
mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
60:8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia,
triumph thou because of me.
60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
60:10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which
didst not go out with our armies?
60:11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies. |
