Psalm 60-66

New International Version

⁵ Save us and help us with your right hand,^(K)
    that those you love^(L) may be delivered.
⁶ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem^(M)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.^(N)
7 Gilead^(O) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim^(P) is my helmet,
    Judah^(Q) is my scepter.^(R)
8 Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.^(S)”

⁹ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
¹⁰ Is it not you, God, you who have now rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?^(T)
11 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.^(U)
12 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.^(V)

² From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;^(Y)
    lead me to the rock^(Z) that is higher than I.
³ For you have been my refuge,^(AA)
    a strong tower against the foe.^(AB)

⁴ I long to dwell^(AC) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.^[g](AD)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;^(AE)
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.^(AF)

⁶ Increase the days of the king’s life,^(AG)
    his years for many generations.^(AH)
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;^(AI)
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.^(AJ)

⁸ Then I will ever sing in praise of your name^(AK)
    and fulfill my vows day after day.^(AL)

³ How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,^(AS) this tottering fence?
⁴ Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.^[i](AT)

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(AU)
    my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[j];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(AV)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;^(AW)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(AX)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹ Surely the lowborn^(AY) are but a breath,^(AZ)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(BA) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion^(BB)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(BC)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.^(BD)

¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(BE)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(BF)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”^(BG)

² I have seen you in the sanctuary^(BJ)
    and beheld your power and your glory.^(BK)
3 Because your love is better than life,^(BL)
    my lips will glorify you.
⁴ I will praise you as long as I live,^(BM)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.^(BN)
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;^(BO)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

⁶ On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.^(BP)
7 Because you are my help,^(BQ)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.^(BR)
8 I cling to you;^(BS)
    your right hand upholds me.^(BT)

⁹ Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;^(BU)
    they will go down to the depths of the earth.^(BV)
10 They will be given over to the sword^(BW)
    and become food for jackals.^(BX)

¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God;
    all who swear by God will glory in him,^(BY)
    while the mouths of liars will be silenced.^(BZ)

² Hide me from the conspiracy^(CC) of the wicked,^(CD)
    from the plots of evildoers.
³ They sharpen their tongues like swords^(CE)
    and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.^(CF)
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;^(CG)
    they shoot suddenly, without fear.^(CH)

⁵ They encourage each other in evil plans,
    they talk about hiding their snares;^(CI)
    they say, “Who will see it^[m]?”^(CJ)
6 They plot injustice and say,
    “We have devised a perfect plan!”
    Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

⁷ But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
⁸ He will turn their own tongues against them^(CK)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads^(CL) in scorn.^(CM)
9 All people will fear;^(CN)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.^(CO)

¹⁰ The righteous will rejoice in the Lord^(CP)
    and take refuge in him;^(CQ)
    all the upright in heart will glory in him!^(CR)

⁵ You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,^(DA)
    God our Savior,^(DB)
the hope of all the ends of the earth^(DC)
    and of the farthest seas,^(DD)
6 who formed the mountains^(DE) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,^(DF)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,^(DG)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.^(DH)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.^(DI)

⁹ You care for the land and water it;^(DJ)
    you enrich it abundantly.^(DK)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,^(DL)
    for so you have ordained it.^[q]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers^(DM) and bless its crops.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty,^(DN)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.^(DO)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^(DP)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.^(DQ)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks^(DR)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;^(DS)
    they shout for joy and sing.^(DT)

⁵ Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds^(EB) for mankind!
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land,^(EC)
    they passed through^(ED) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice^(EE) in him.
⁷ He rules forever^(EF) by his power,
    his eyes watch^(EG) the nations—
    let not the rebellious^(EH) rise up against him.

⁸ Praise^(EI) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
⁹ he has preserved our lives^(EJ)
    and kept our feet from slipping.^(EK)
10 For you, God, tested^(EL) us;
    you refined us like silver.^(EM)
11 You brought us into prison^(EN)
    and laid burdens^(EO) on our backs.
¹² You let people ride over our heads;^(EP)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.^(EQ)

¹³ I will come to your temple with burnt offerings^(ER)
    and fulfill my vows^(ES) to you—
¹⁴ vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.^(ET)

¹⁶ Come and hear,^(EU) all you who fear God;
    let me tell^(EV) you what he has done for me.
¹⁷ I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
¹⁸ If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;^(EW)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard^(EX) my prayer.
²⁰ Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected^(EY) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!
