To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.
[60:1] O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us.
[60:2] You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters.
[60:3] You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger.
[60:4] You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow.
[60:5] That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us!
[60:6] God has spoken in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth.
[60:7] Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.
[60:8] Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
[60:9] Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
[60:10] Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies.
[60:11] Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!
[60:12] With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.
