          DASV: Psalm 60    

For the music director, according to the Lily of the Covenant,
a Miktam of David, for instruction; when he fought with
Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return
struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt

1 O God you have rejected us,
      you have broken us down,
           you have been angry;
      restore us again.
2 You have made the earth to quake;
      you have torn it open;
           seal its cracks,
      for it is shaking.
3 You have shown your people hard things;
      you have made us to drink wine causing us to stagger.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,
      that they may rally to it, out of the range of the bow. Selah

5 Deliver your beloved;
      save by your right hand and answer us.
6 God has spoken in his sanctuary;
     "I will triumph,
      I will divide up Shechem,
           and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine,
     Manasseh is mine;
     Ephraim also is my helmet;
           Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my washbasin;
     I will throw my shoe at Edom;
           I will shout in triumph over Philistia."

9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
     Who has led me to Edom?
10 Have you not abandoned us, O God?
     You no longer go out with our armies, O God.
11 Give us help against the foe,
     for human help is useless.
12 With God we will be victorious,
     for he will trample down our foes.
