Psalm
60
[Recommended
tunes: v 1-5 Dundee,
Coleshill, Blackbourn; v 6-12
Sheffield,
Colchester]
8,6,8,6
To
the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he
strove with Aram-naharaim, and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned and smote
of
Edom,
in the valley
of Salt,
twelve thousand.
|
1O Lord, thou hast rejected us,
and scatter'd us abroad;
Thou
justly hast displeased been;
return to us, O God.
|
|
2The earth to tremble thou hast made;
therein didst breaches make:
Do
thou thereof the breaches heal,
because the land doth shake.
|
|
3Unto thy people thou hard things
hast shew'd, and on them sent;
And
thou hast caused us to drink
wine of astonishment.
|
|
4And yet a banner thou hast giv'n
to them who thee do fear;
That
it by them, because of truth,
displayed may appear.
|
|
5That thy beloved people may
deliver'd be from thrall,
Save
with the pow'r of thy right hand,
and hear me when I call.
|
|
6God in his holiness hath spoke;
herein I will take pleasure:
Shechem
I will divide, and forth
will Succoth's valley measure.
|
|
7Gilead I claim as mine by right;
Manasseh mine shall be;
Ephraim
is of mine head the strength;
Judah
gives laws for me;
|
|
8Moab's my washing-pot; my shoe
I'll over
Edom
throw;
And
over Palestina's land
I will in triumph go.
|
|
9O who is he will bring me to
the city fortify'd?
O
who is he that to the land
of
Edom
will me guide?
|
|
10O God, which hadest us cast off,
this thing wilt thou not do?
Ev'n
thou, O God, which didest not
forth with our armies go?
|
|
11Help us from trouble; for the help
is vain which man supplies.
12Through God we'll do great acts; he shall
tread down our enemies.
