Psalm 60
Douay-Rheims Bible

With God We Will Gain the Victory

(2 Samuel 8:1-14; 1 Chronicles 18:1-13)

1{59:1}Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine, [2] When he set fire to Mesopotamia of Syria and Sobal: and Joab returned and slew of Edom, in the vale of the saltpits, twelve thousand men. [3] O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.

2{59:4}Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.

3{59:5}Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink the wine of sorrow.

4{59:6}Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: that they may flee from before the bow: That thy beloved may be delivered.

5{59:7}Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.

6{59:8}God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.

7{59:9}Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:

8{59:10}Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.

9{59:11}Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

10{59:12}Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?

11{59:13}Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.

12{59:14}Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
