(When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.) <br /> <br />1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, <br /> thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. <br /> <br />2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; <br /> thou hast broken it: <br /> heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. <br /> <br />3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: <br /> thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. <br /> <br />4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, <br /> that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. <br /> <br />5 That thy beloved may be delivered; <br /> save with thy right hand, and hear me. <br /> <br />6 God hath spoken in his holiness; <br /> I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, <br /> and mete out the valley of Succoth. <br /> <br />7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; <br /> Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; <br /> Judah is my lawgiver; <br /> <br />8 Moab is my washpot; <br /> over Edom will I cast out my shoe: <br /> Philistia, triumph thou because of me. <br /> <br />9 Who will bring me into the strong city? <br /> who will lead me into Edom? <br /> <br />10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? <br /> and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? <br /> <br />11 Give us help from trouble: <br /> for vain is the help of man. <br /> <br />12 Through God we shall do valiantly: <br /> for he it is that shall tread own our enemies. <br /> <br />(KJV)<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-60-through-god-we-shall-do-valiantly/
