Psalms 60-61
Chapter 60
Grieving over Defeat in Battle, and Prayer for Help.
1 God, (C1)You have rejected us. You have (F1)(C2)broken us;
You have been (C3)angry; (C4)restore us!
2 You have made the (F1)(C1)land quake, You have split it open;
(C2)Heal its cracks, for it sways.
3 You have (F1)(C1)made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us (F2)wine to (C2)drink that makes us stagger.
4 You have given a (C1)banner to those who fear You,
That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
5 (C1)That Your (C2)beloved may be rescued,
(C3)Save us with Your right hand, and answer (F1)us!
6 God has spoken in His (F1)(C1)holiness:
"I will triumph, I will divide up (C2)Shechem, and measure out the Valley of (C3)Succoth.
7 "(C1)Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
(C2)Ephraim also is the (F1)helmet of My head;
Judah is My (C3)scepter.
8 "(C1)Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over (C2)Edom;
Shout loud, (C3)Philistia, because of Me!"
9 Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who (F1)will lead me to Edom?
10 Have You Yourself not (C1)rejected us, God?
And (C2)will You not go out with our armies, God?
11 Oh give us help against the enemy,
For (C1)rescue (F1)by man is worthless.
12 (F1)Through God we will (C1)do valiantly,
And it is He who will (C2)trample down our enemies.
Chapter 61
Confidence in God's Protection.
1 (C1)Hear my cry, God;
(C2)Give Your attention to my prayer.
2 From the (C1)end of the earth I call to You when my heart is (C2)faint;
Lead me to (C3)the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a (C1)refuge for me,
A (C2)tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me (F1)(C1)dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me (C2)take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
5 For You have heard my (C1)vows, God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who (C2)fear Your name.
6 You will (F1)(C1)prolong the king's (F2)life;
His years will be like generations.
7 He will (F1)sit enthroned (C1)before God forever;
Appoint (C2)faithfulness and truth that they may watch over him.
8 So I will (C1)sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may (C2)pay my vows day by day.
