Psalm 60:<\/p>\n

Author:<\/em>
\nKing David–the second king of Israel and father of the Davidic royal and messianic dynasty. David composed over seventy of the 150 psalms of Sefer Tehillim.<\/p>\n

When and Why:<\/em>
\nDavid wrote this psalm when his armies were being defeated by the armies of Aram and Edom. In it, he prays to God to make his soldiers victorious in battle.<\/p>\n

Genre: <\/em>
\nPsalm of Communal Lament–This psalm focuses on expressing deep sorrow for the travails of a nation and as a group asking for God\u2019s blessing or intervention.<\/p>\n

Chapter Summary:<\/em>
\nHere, David speaks of the wars he waged against Israel\u2019s belligerent neighbors. He also addresses his deliverance from these enemies, acknowledging that his successes come from the hand of the Almighty.<\/p>\n

This psalm consists of fourteen verses, subdivided into three parts.
\n1 & 2 serve as a heading.
\nIn verses 3-6, King David bemoans his defeat in a difficult war.
\nIn verses 7-10, he prays for the fulfillment of a prophetic promise of salvation and endurance in the Holy Land, and further petitions God on behalf of the people of Israel.
\nIn verses 11-14, he expresses his trust that God will indeed bring defeat upon Israel\u2019s enemies.<\/p>\n
