Psalms

Chapter 60

¹ <<To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.>> O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
² Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
³ Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
⁴ Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
⁵ That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
⁶ God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
⁸ Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
⁹ Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
¹⁰ Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
¹¹ Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
¹² Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalms

Chapter 61

¹ <<To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.>> Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
² From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
³ For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
⁴ I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
⁵ For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.
⁶ Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
⁷ He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
⁸ So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Psalms

Chapter 62

¹ <<To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.>> Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
² He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
³ How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
⁴ They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
⁵ My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
⁷ In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
⁸ Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
⁹ Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
¹⁰ Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
¹¹ God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
¹² Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.
