Psalms 60:1 meaning and explanation
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
Psalms 60:1, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse opens a communal lament, not a private prayer. The heading places it among David's songs for the choirmaster, set to a tune and tied to his wars against Aram and Edom, when Joab struck down twelve thousand men in the Valley of Salt.
