Psalms 60

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. With hymns, of David.	1 when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.
2 O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.	2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,	3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.	4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.	5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.	6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.	7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?	8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.	9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
	10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
	11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
	12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
