What Does Psalms 60:1 Mean?

“O God”

gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme god; occasionally applied by way of

“thou hast cast us off”

reject, forsake, fail

“thou hast scattered”

to break out (in many applications, direct and indirect, literal and figurative)

“us thou hast been displeased”

to breathe hard, i.e., be enraged

“O turn thyself to us again”

to turn back (hence, away) transitively or intransitively, literally or figuratively (not necessarily with the idea of return to the starting point);
