Psalm 60:6–9

Psalm 60:6–92 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 6 I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem,
- B 6 and mete out the valley of Succoth.
- B' 7 Gilead is mine,
A' 7 and Manasseh is mine;

A 7 Ephraim also is the strength of mine head;
- B 7 Judah is my lawgiver;
  - C 8 Moab is my washpot;

A 8 over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
- B 8 Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
- B' 9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
A' 9 who will lead me into Edom?
