Psalm 60
NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1For the music director; according to the shushan-eduth style; a prayer of David written to instruct others. It was written when he fought against Aram Naharaim and Aram-Zobah. That was when Joab turned back and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us. You suddenly turned on us in your anger. Please restore us! 1You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses. You have been angry with us; now restore us to your favor.
2You made the earth quake; you split it open. Repair its breaches, for it is ready to fall. 2You have shaken our land and split it open. Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine. 3You have been very hard on us, making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah) 4But you have raised a banner for those who fear you— a rallying point in the face of attack. Interlude
5Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe. 5Now rescue your beloved people. Answer and save us by your power.
6God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem; the Valley of Succoth I will measure off. 6God has promised this by his holiness : “I will divide up Shechem with joy. I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter. 7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too. Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia." 8But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom? 9Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies. 10Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?
11Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile. 11Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
12By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies. 12With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
