Psalm 60:1-2

Revised Standard Version

Prayer for National Victory after Defeat

To the choirmaster: according to Shushan Eduth. A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60 O God, thou hast rejected us, broken our defenses;

²Thou hast made the land to quake, thou hast rent it open;
repair its breaches, for it totters.
