TEHILIM
(Book of Psalms)
Chapter 60

Tehilim 59

1
For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach;
2
when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
3
O G-d, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
4
Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it; heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
5
Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
6
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
7
That Thy beloved may be delivered, save with Thy right hand, and answer me.

8
G-d spoke in His holiness, that I would exult; that I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
9
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of my head; Judah is my sceptre.
10
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom do I cast my shoe; Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
11
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me unto Edom?
12
Hast not Thou, O G-d, cast us off? And Thou goest not forth, O G-d, with our hosts.
13
Give us help against the adversary; for vain is the help of man.
14
Through G-d we shall do valiantly; for He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
