Psalm 60*Lament After Defeat in Battle1For the leader; according to “The Lily of.…” A miktam of David (for teaching), 2when he fought against Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah; and Joab, coming back, killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.a I 3O God, you rejected us, broke our defenses; you were angry but now revive us. 4You rocked the earth, split it open;b repair the cracks for it totters. 5You made your people go through hardship, made us stagger from the wine you gave us.c 6Raise up a banner for those who revere you, a refuge for them out of bow shot. Selah 7*Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape. II 8*In the sanctuary God promised: “I will exult, will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth* I will measure out. 9Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.* 10*Moab is my washbowl; I will triumph over Philistia.” III Book IntroductionFootnotesScripture texts, prefaces, introductions, footnotes and cross references used in this work are taken from the New American Bible, revised edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC All Rights Reserved.
