Psalms 60 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012（CEVUK）

(For the music leader. To the tune “Lily of the Promise”. A special psalm by David for teaching. He wrote it during his wars with the Arameans of northern Syria, when Joab came back and killed twelve thousand Edomites in Salt Valley.)

5Answer our prayers!

Use your powerful arm

and give us victory.

Then the people you love

will be safe.

6Our God, you solemnly promised,

“I would gladly divide up

the city of Shechem

and give away Succoth Valley

piece by piece.

7The lands of Gilead

and Manasseh are mine.

Ephraim is my war helmet,

and Judah is the symbol

of my royal power.

8Moab is merely my washbasin.

Edom belongs to me,

and I shout in triumph

over the Philistines.”

9Our God, who will bring me

to the fortress,

or lead me to Edom?

10Have you rejected us

and deserted our armies?

11Help us defeat our enemies!

No one else can rescue us.

12You will give us victory

and crush our enemies.
