Today's prayer: Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless

Psalm 60

1: Psalm 60 For the director of music. To [the tune of] "The Lily of the Covenant." A miktam ^[1] of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim ^[2] and Aram Zobah, ^[3] and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
1: You have rejected us, O God, and burst forth upon us; you have been angry--now restore us!
2: You have shaken the land and torn it open; mend its fractures, for it is quaking.
3: You have shown your people desperate times; you have given us wine that makes us stagger.
4: But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow. Selah
5: Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
6: God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
7: Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
8: Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
9: Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10: Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
11: Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12: With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
