Text -- Psalms 60:1-12 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
Psalm 60
60:1 For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; a prayer of David written to instruct others. It was written when he fought against Aram Naharaim and Aram-Zobah. That was when Joab turned back and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us. You suddenly turned on us in your anger. Please restore us! 60:2 You made the earth quake; you split it open. Repair its breaches, for it is ready to fall. 60:3 You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine. 60:4 You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah) 60:5 Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. 60:6 God has spoken in his sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Succoth I will measure off. 60:7 Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. 60:8 Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.” 60:9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? 60:10 Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. 60:11 Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. 60:12 By God’s power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.
