Psalm 60:11 – Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

It’s been tough to stay focused on my daily Bible reading. Perhaps in these troubling times this Psalm should serve as our prayer…

He Will Tread Down Our Foes

Psa 60:1  To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

Psa 60:2  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

Psa 60:3  Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

Psa 60:4  Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

Psa 60:5  That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

Psa 60:6  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Psa 60:7  Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Psa 60:8  Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

Psa 60:9  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Psa 60:10  Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

Psa 60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Psa 60:12  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
