Chapter 60
Psal NETtext 60:1  For 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!
Psal NETtext 60:2  You made the earth quake; you split it open. Repair its breaches, for it is ready to fall.
Psal NETtext 60:3  You have made your people experience hard times; you have made us drink intoxicating wine.
Psal NETtext 60:4  You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah)

Psal NETtext 60:8  Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
Psal NETtext 60:9  Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?
Psal NETtext 60:10  Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.
Psal NETtext 60:11  Give us help against the enemy, for any help men might offer is futile.
