To the chief Musician upon Shushan Eduth, MIchtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, to teach; when he [fought] with Aram Nahraim & Aram Zobah, when Joab returned & [struck down] 12,000 [of] Edom in the Valley of Salt. |
Psalm 60:1-12 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O God, You have been displeased & You have cast us off & have scattered us. O [return] Yourself to us again. You have made the earth tremble. You have broken it. Heal [its cracks;] for it shakes. |
[2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, [who] are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, pray & seek My face and [return] from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven & will forgive their sin & will heal their land.] |
You have [shown] Your people [difficult] things. You have made us drink the wine of astonishment. [Jeremiah 25:15-16 For the Lord God of Israel [said this] to me; |
Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand & cause all the nations to whom I send you, to drink it. And they shall drink & be moved [into captivity] & be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.] |
You have given a banner to [those who] fear [respect] You, [so] it may be displayed, because of the Truth. Selah. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
[So,] that Your beloved may be delivered. Save with Your right hand & hear me. God has spoken in His holiness & I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem & [measure] out the Valley of Succoth. |
[Joshua 1:6 Be strong & of good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I [swore] to their [forefathers] to give them.] |
Gilead is Mine & Manasseh is Mine. Also, Ephraim is also the strength of [My] head. Judah is My lawgiver. Moab is My washpot; I will cast out My shoe over Edom. You, Philistia, triumph, because of Me. Who will bring Me into the [fortified] city? |
Who will lead me into Edom? [Won't] you, O God, [Who] has cast us off? And You, O God, [Who] didn't go out with our armies? Judges 2:12-14 And they [abandoned] the Lord God of their [forefathers, Who] brought them out of the land of Egypt & followed other gods, of the gods of the people, [who] were [around] them & bowed themselves to them & provoked the Lord to anger. |
And they [abandoned] the Lord & served Baal & Ashtaroth. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel & He delivered them into the hands of the spoilers, [who plundered] them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies [around] them, so that they couldn’t stand before their enemies any longer.] |
Give us help from trouble: for [what is worthless vanity] is the help of man. Through God, we shall [perform] valiantly. For it is He, [Who] shall [trample] down our enemies. |
