Tremble and Triumph Blues | Psalm 60 Inspired Blues Song

**In this song, Tremble and Triumph Blues, we dive deep into Psalm 60, a powerful cry from King David during a time of national crisis and warfare. This psalm was written after Israel faced defeat and great distress, when David’s armies were fighting against the Arameans (Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah) and Joab struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. David, feeling the weight of God's rejection and the land’s instability, poured his heart out to God for restoration and victory.

In this blues rendition, we capture the struggle, the trembling ground beneath David’s feet, and the ultimate triumph through God’s deliverance. The blues genre perfectly conveys the tension between pain and hope, despair and faith. The depth of David’s cry for help resonates with the blues tradition, where lament and triumph often walk hand in hand.

** Psalm 60 (WEB Translation):

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

1 God, you have rejected us.
You have broken us down.
You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2 You have made the land tremble.
You have torn it.
Mend its fractures,
for it quakes.
3 You have shown your people hard things.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,
that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5 So that your beloved may be delivered,
save with your right hand, and answer us.
6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“I will triumph.
I will divide Shechem,
and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim also is the defense of my head.
Judah is my scepter.
8 Moab is my wash basin.
I will throw my sandal on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who has led me to Edom?
10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
11 Give us help against the adversary,
for the help of man is vain.
12 Through God we will do valiantly,
for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

**Tremble and Triumph Blues (Lyrics):

Verse 1:
Oh God, you’ve turned your face,
You’ve broken us apart,
Yeah, the land is trembling, Lord,
We’re living with shattered hearts.
You’ve been angry with your people,
But we need your healing grace,
Won’t you mend these fractured places,
Won’t you come and show your face?

Chorus:
We’re standing on shaking ground,
Feeling that wine of pain,
But we trust your banner, Lord,
We’ll rise up once again.
Oh, give us help, Lord,
Man’s strength just can’t see us through,
Through you, we’ll do valiantly,
We’ll rise up strong and true.

Verse 2:
You’ve spoken from your holy place,
You’ve claimed this land as yours,
Gilead and Judah, Ephraim too,
You hold the victor’s sword.
Moab’s just a wash basin,
Edom’s where you throw your shoes,
You triumph over all, Lord,
And shout through Philistine blues.

Chorus:
We’re standing on shaking ground,
Feeling that wine of pain,
But we trust your banner, Lord,
We’ll rise up once again.
Oh, give us help, Lord,
Man’s strength just can’t see us through,
Through you, we’ll do valiantly,
We’ll rise up strong and true.

Bridge:
Who will lead us to the city,
To the stronghold, to the fight?
If you’ve turned away, God,
We can’t make it through the night.
But when you’re by our side,
Oh Lord, we’ll win this fight,
We’ll tread down all our enemies,
And walk in your holy light.

Chorus:
We’re standing on shaking ground,
Feeling that wine of pain,
But we trust your banner, Lord,
We’ll rise up once again.
Oh, give us help, Lord,
Man’s strength just can’t see us through,
Through you, we’ll do valiantly,
We’ll rise up strong and true.
