Psalm 60-61

21st Century King James Version

60 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 shown 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 portion 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 stronghold city? Who will lead me into Edom?

¹⁰ Will not Thou, O God, who hadst cast us off, and Thou, O God, who 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.

61 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 refuge 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 shall be as many generations.

⁷ He shall abide before God for ever; O prepare mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

⁸ So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
