‏ Psalms 59

(60) For the end, for them that shall yet be changed; for an inscription by David for instruction, when he had burned Mesopotamia of Syria, and Syria Sobal, and Joab had returned and struck in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1 O God, you have rejected and destroyed us; you have been angry, yet have pitied us.
2 You have shaken the earth, and troubled it; heal its breaches, for it has been shaken.
3 You have shown your people hard things: you have made us drink the wine of astonishment.
4 You have given a token to them that fear you, that they might flee from the bow. Pause.
5 That your beloved ones may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, and divide Sicima, and measure out the valley of tents.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasse is mine; and Ephraim is the ^{▼▼59:7 Or, strengthening.} strength of my head;
8 Judas is my king; Moab is the caldron of my hope; over Idumea will I stretch out my shoe; the Philistines have been subjected to me.
9 Who will lead me into the fortified city? who will guide me as far a Idumea?
10 Will not you, O God, who have cast us off? and will not you, O God, go forth with our forces?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the deliverance of man.
12 In God will we ^{▼▼59:12 Gr. work power.} do valiantly; and he shall bring to nothing them that harass us.
