Psalms 60

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, for the inscription of a title, to David himself, for doctrine,	1 To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, thou hast rejected us, broken our defenses; thou hast been angry; oh, restore us.
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.	2 Thou hast made the land to quake, thou hast rent it open; repair its breaches, for it totters.
3 O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.	3 Thou hast made thy people suffer hard things; thou hast given us wine to drink that made us reel.
4 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.	4 Thou hast set up a banner for those who fear thee, to rally to it from the bow. [Selah]
5 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.	5 That thy beloved may be delivered, give victory by thy right hand and answer us!
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.	6 God has spoken in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
7 Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.	7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
8 God hath spoken in his holy place: I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.	8 Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim is the strength of my head. Juda is my king:	9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Moab is the pot of my hope. Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: to me the foreigners are made subject.	10 Hast thou not rejected us, O God? Thou dost not go forth, O God, with our armies.
11 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?	11 O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man!
12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?	12 With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
13 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the salvation of man.
14 Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
