Psalms 60

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.	1 For the leader; according to "The Lily of...." A miktam of David (for teaching),
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.	2 when he fought against Aram-Naharaim and Aram-Zobah; and Joab, coming back, killed twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.	3 O God, you rejected us, broke our defenses; you were angry but now revive us.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.	4 You rocked the earth, split it open; repair the cracks for it totters.
5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.	5 You made your people go through hardship, made us stagger from the wine you gave us.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.	6 Raise up a flag for those who revere you, a refuge for them out of bow shot. Selah
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;	7 Help with your right hand and answer us that your loved ones may escape.
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.	8 In the sanctuary God promised: "I will exult, will apportion Shechem; the valley of Succoth I will measure out.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?	9 Gilead is mine, mine is Manasseh; Ephraim is the helmet for my head, Judah, my own scepter.
10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?	10 Moab is my washbowl; upon Edom I cast my sandal. I will triumph over Philistia."
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.	11 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.	12 Was it not you who rejected us, God? Do you no longer march with our armies?
	13 Give us aid against the foe; worthless is human help.
	14 We will triumph with the help of God, who will trample down our foes.
