Psalms 60

1O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; Thou hast been angry; oh restore us again.

1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

1To 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.

1Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

9Who will bring me into the strong city? Who hath led me unto Edom?
