Psalms 60

1Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

1 OGod, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased: restore us again.

2Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer.

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of bewilderment.

4For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth, (Selah,)

5In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

5 That thy beloved ones may be delivered. Save with thy right hand, and answer me.

6For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

8He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

8 Moab is my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; Philistia, shout aloud because of me.

9So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?

10(not in this translation)

10 [Wilt] not thou, OGod, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, OGod, with our armies?

11(not in this translation)

11 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

12(not in this translation)

12 ThroughGod we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
