Psalms 60:1-12
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 struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. O God, you have rejected us, broken our defenses; you have been angry; oh, restore us. (2) You have made the land to quake; you have torn it open; repair its breaches, for it totters. (3) You have made your people see hard things; you have given us wine to drink that made us stagger. (4) You have set up a banner for those who fear you, that they may flee to it from the bow. Selah (5) That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer us! (6) God has spoken in his holiness: "With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Vale of Succoth. (7) Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter. (8) Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph." (9) Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? (10) Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go forth, O God, with our armies. (11) Oh, grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man! (12) With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.

Summary: The Israelites have been defeated and are looking to God for help.
ReplyDeleteApplication: It is only God who makes us a way for us to have eternal victory in Christ. God their are times when I have turned from you please forgive me. May you always go before me and thank you for always being with me.
Summary: Sushan Eduth cries out to God for restoration from the devastation they have seen. That restoration, salvation and deliverance is only possible through God. He is our refuge and strength.
ReplyDeleteApplication: God, you are the only one I can look to for deliverance and salvation. The salvation of man is worthless. Only your salvation (through man or apart from man) is worth hoping in.
