Psalm 60
Deus, repulisti nos
1
O God, you have cast us out and scattered us abroad; *
you have been so displeased; O turn unto us again.
2
You have made the land to quake and divided it; *
heal the breaches in it, for it shakes.
3
You have made your people to drink a cup of bitterness; *
you have filled us with wine that makes us stagger.
4
You have set up a banner for those who fear you, *
that they may triumph because of the truth.
5
That your beloved may be delivered, *
help me with your right hand and hear me.
6
God has spoken in his holiness: *
“I will rejoice and divide Shechem, and parcel out the valley of Succoth.
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; *
Ephraim also is the helmet for my head; Judah is my scepter.
8
Moab is my wash pot; on Edom I will cast my shoe; *
over Philistia will I shout in triumph.”
9
Who will lead me into the strong city? *
Who will bring me into Edom?
10
Have you not cast us out, O God? *
Will you not, O God, go out with our armies?
11
O be our help in trouble, *
for vain is the help of man.
12
Through God we will do great acts, *
for it is he who shall tread down our enemies.
Psalm 61
Exaudi, Deus
1
Hear my cry, O God; *
give ear unto my prayer.
2
From the ends of the earth I will call upon you *
when my heart is in heaviness.
3
O set me upon the rock that is higher than I, *
for you have been my refuge and a strong tower for me against the enemy.
4
Let me dwell in your tabernacle for ever, *
and my refuge shall be under the covering of your wings.
5
For you, O God, have heard my vows, *
and have given a heritage to those who fear your Name.
6
You shall grant the king a long life, *
that his years may endure throughout all generations.
7
His throne shall abide before God for ever; *
O prepare your loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.
8
So will I always sing praise unto your Name, *
that I may daily perform my vows.
