Psalms 60 Study & Commentary

Psalm 60 is a prayer after a national defeat, asking God to "give us help from trouble" because "vain is the help of man."

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

1. Vain is the Help of Man: Relying on human strength or alliances is ultimately futile (v. 11).
2. Through God we shall do Valiantly: True courage and victory come from God’s power working through us (v. 12).

FORMAL PRAYER

Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. Grant us Thy help, O Lord. Amen.
