Psalms 60 presents a psalm attributed to David, written during a time of military conflict against Aram-Naharaim, Aram-Zobah, and Edom. The psalm expresses distress and a feeling of rejectionby God in the face of defeat. However, it transitions to a statement of hope and confidence in God's future promises of victory and dominion over surrounding nations, concluding with a plea for divine assistance and an affirmation that success comes from God.
