Psalms 60; Psalms 61; Psalms 62

1 God, you have rejected us— shattered us. You've been so angry. Now restore us!

2 You've made the ground quake, splitting it open. Now repair its cracks because it's shaking apart!

3 You've made your people suffer hardship; you've given us wine and we stagger.

4 Give a flag to those who honor you, so they can rally around it, safe from attack. Selah

5 Save us by your power and answer us so that the people you love might be rescued.

6 God has spoken in his sanctuary: "I will celebrate as I divide up Shechem and portion out the Succoth Valley.

7 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet; Judah is my scepter.

8 But Moab is my washbowl; I'll throw my shoe at Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia!

9 I wish someone would bring me to a fortified city! I wish someone would lead me to Edom!"

10 But you have rejected us, God, haven't you? God, you no longer accompany our armies.

11 Give us help against the enemy; human help is worthless.

12 With God we will triumph; he's the one who will trample our adversaries.

1 God, listen to my cry; pay attention to my prayer!

2 When my heart is weak, I cry out to you from the very ends of the earth. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I am

3 because you have been my refuge, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

4 Please let me live in your tent forever! Please let me take refuge in the shelter of your wings! Selah

5 Because you, God, have heard my promises; you've given me the same possession as those who honor your name.

6 Add days to the king's life! Let his years extend for many generations!

7 Let him be enthroned forever before God! Make it so love and faithfulness watch over him!

8 Then I will sing praises to your name forever, and I will do what I promised every single day.

1 Only in God do I find rest; my salvation comes from him.

2 Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I won't be shaken anymore.

3 How long will all of you attack others; how long will you tear them down as if they were leaning walls or broken-down fences?

4 The only desire of this people is to bring others down low; they delight in deception. With their mouths they bless, but inside they are cursing. Selah

5 Oh, I must find rest in God only, because my hope comes from him!

6 Only God is my rock and my salvation— my stronghold!—I will not be shaken.

7 My deliverance and glory depend on God. God is my strong rock. My refuge is in God.

8 All you people: Trust in him at all times! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our refuge! Selah

9 Human beings are nothing but a breath. Human beings are nothing but lies. They don't even register on a scale; taken all together they are lighter than a breath!

10 Don't trust in violence; don't set false hopes in robbery. When wealth bears fruit, don't set your heart on it.

11 God has spoken one thing— make it two things— that I myself have heard: that strength belongs to God,

12 and faithful love comes from you, my Lord— and that you will repay everyone according to their deeds.
