17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing; for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
Psalms 60 Intro: David, upon better hope, prayeth for deliverance. (To the chief Musician upon Sushane-duth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.)
1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; oh turn thyself to us again.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast showed thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
