Psalm 60:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

Psalm 60

To the Chief Musician; [set to the tune of] “The Lily of the Testimony.” A poem of David intended to record memorable thoughts and to teach; when he had striven with the Arameans of Mesopotamia and the Arameans of Zobah, and when Joab returned and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

¹ O God, You have rejected us and cast us off, broken down [our defenses], and scattered us; You have been angry—O restore us and turn Yourself to us again!

² You have made the land to quake and tremble, You have rent it [open]; repair its breaches, for it shakes and totters.

³ You have made Your people suffer hard things; You have given us to drink wine that makes us reel and be dazed.
