Psalms 60:10

Wilt not thou, O God&c. This rendering, which is that of the LXX, Vulg., Symm., and Jer., is grammatically legitimate, though less obvious than that of R.V.;

Hast not thou, O God, cast us off?

And thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.

It suits the context better as the answer to Psalms 60:9 in a tone of confidence which corresponds to that of Psalms 60:12. Though God has for the moment deserted us, and has not led our armies to victory, He will surely now give us help, for we trust in Him alone. The rendering of R.V. introduces a note of despair, which harmonises ill with the confidence of Psalms 60:12. With it the connexion of thought would be, Who can lead us into the enemy's stronghold? None but God, and God has deserted us. Yet even now perhaps He will hear our prayer (Psalms 60:11). With the second line cp. Psalms 44:9.
