Psalm 60 (YLT)

Young's Literal Translation

1 To the Overseer. --`Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt--twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us--hadst been angry! --Thou dost turn back to us.

2 Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.

3 Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.

4 Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah.

5 That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save <FI>with<Fi> Thy right hand, and answer us.

6 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult--I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

7 Mine <FI>is<Fi> Gilead, and mine <FI>is<Fi> Manasseh, And Ephraim <FI>is<Fi> the strength of my head, Judah <FI>is<Fi> my lawgiver,

8 Moab <FI>is<Fi> my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.

9 Who doth bring me <FI>to<Fi> a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?

10 Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!

11 Give to us help from adversity, And vain <FI>is<Fi> the deliverance of man.

12 In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
