Psalms 60:10
8 Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12 With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
