Psalms 60 — parallel

60:1

For the end, among the Hymns of David.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” of David for instruction. When he fought , and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

60:2

O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

^61:1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

60:3

From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me:

^61:2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

60:4

because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

^61:3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.

Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.

He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

^61:7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
