MOF PSA Chapter 60

◄ PSA 60 ► ║ ©

From the Choirmaster’s collection. To the tune of “Lily of the Law.” A golden ode for recitation, sung by David during the campaign against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, when Joab wheeled round and defeated twelve thousand Edomites in the wady of Salt.

60 Thou hast discarded us, crushed us in anger, O God;

restore us to power:

2 thou hast shaken and shattered the land;

repair its tottering breaches.

3 Hard times thou hast given to thy people

and a cup to drink that has dazed them.

4 Hast thou given thy worshippers a flag,

only that they might fly from the archers?

5 To the rescue of thy dear folk!

Save by thy right hand, answer our entreaty,

10b O thou Eternal who hast discarded us, shamed us,

who would’st not march out with our army.

11 Help us against the foe,

for man’s help is in vain.

12 With God we shall do bravely;

he will trample down our foes.

6 God gave his sacred promise:

“I will divide up Shechem in triumph,

and parcel out the vale of Sukkoth;

7 Gilead is mine, Manasseh mine,

Ephraim I take for helmet,

Judah for my baton,

8 Moab I make a wash-basin,

Edom I claim as subject,

and over Philistia I will triumph.”

9 Ah, who will lead us inside the hill-fort?

Who will take us conquering into Edom?

10a Wilt not thou, O God?
