◄ Psalm 60 ►
Rotherham's Emphasized Bible
To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1 O God, thou hast rejected us—hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us? 2Thou hast shaken the land—hast rent it, Heal thou the fractures thereof—for it hath tottered: 3Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion. 4Thou hadst given—to them that revere thee—a banner, to float aloft, Because of [thy] faithfulness. [Selah.] 5That thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save thou with thine own right hand—and answer us.

6God, hath spoken in his holiness—I will exult! I will apportion Shechem, And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out; 7Mine, is Gilead—and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff; 8Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia! raise shout of triumph. 9Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom! 10Is it not, thou, O God?—thou hast rejected us! And wilt thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts? 11Grant us help out of distress, For, vain, is the deliverance of man: 12In God, we shall do valiantly, He himself, therefore, will tread down our adversaries.

Rotherham's Emphasized Bible, 1902, is a translation of the Bible that uses various methods, such as "emphatic idiom" and special diacritical marks, to bring out nuances of the underlying Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts.
