Psalms 60 — Context

Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.
