Psalms 60; Psalms 61; Psalms 62

1 God, you have rejected us and scattered us. You have been angry, but please come back to us.

2 You made the earth shake and crack. Heal its breaks because it is shaking.

3 You have given your people trouble. You made us unable to walk straight, like people drunk with wine.

4 You have raised a banner to gather those who fear you. Now they can stand up against the enemy.Selah

5 Answer us and save us by your power so the people you love will be rescued.

6 God has said from his Temple, "When I win, I will divide Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead and Manasseh are mine. Ephraim is like my helmet. Judah holds my royal scepter.

8 Moab is like my washbowl. I throw my sandals at Edom. I shout at Philistia."

9 Who will bring me to the strong, walled city?

10 God, surely you have rejected us; you do not go out with our armies.

11 Help us fight the enemy. Human help is useless,

12 but we can win with God's help. He will defeat our enemies.

1 God, hear my cry; listen to my prayer.

2 I call to you from the ends of the earth when I am afraid. Carry me away to a high mountain.

3 You have been my protection, like a strong tower against my enemies.

4 Let me live in your Holy Tent forever. Let me find safety in the shelter of your wings. Selah

5 God, you have heard my promises. You have given me what belongs to those who fear you.

6 Give the king a long life; let him live many years.

7 Let him rule in the presence of God forever. Protect him with your love and truth.

8 Then I will praise your name forever, and every day I will keep my promises.

1 I find rest in God; only he can save me.

2 He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.

3 How long will you attack someone? Will all of you kill that person? Who is like a leaning wall, like a fence ready to fall?

4 They are planning to make that person fall. They enjoy telling lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.Selah

5 I find rest in God; only he gives me hope.

6 He is my rock and my salvation. He is my defender; I will not be defeated.

7 My honor and salvation come from God. He is my mighty rock and my protection.

8 People, trust God all the time. Tell him all your problems, because God is our protection.Selah

9 The least of people are only a breath, and even the greatest are just a lie. On the scales, they weigh nothing; together they are only a breath.

10 Do not trust in force. Stealing is of no use. Even if you gain more riches, don't put your trust in them.

11 God has said this, and I have heard it over and over: God is strong.

12 The Lord is loving. You reward people for what they have done. A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Judah.
