| National Lament. Psalm 60(v59) | |||
| A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. | |||
| 1 | O God, you have rejected us, broken our defences; you have been angry; oh, restore us. | ||
| 2 | You have made the land to quake, you have rent it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. | ||
| 3 | You have made your people suffer hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us reel. | ||
| 4 | You have set up a banner for those who fear you, to rally to it from the bow. | ||
| 5 | That your beloved may be delivered, give victory by your right hand and answer us! | ||
| 6 | God has spoken in his sanctuary: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. | ||
| 7 | Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. | ||
| 8 | Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph." | ||
| 9 | Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? | ||
| 10 | Have you not rejected us, O God? You not go forth, O God, with our armies. | ||
| 11 | O grant us help against the foe, for vain is the help of man! | ||
| 12 | With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes. | ||
