Psalms

Chapter 60

  1. 1

    (To the choir-master. For stringed instruments. Of David.)

  2. 2

    Listen, Lord, to this cry of appeal; do not let my prayer go unheeded,

  3. 3

    though it be from the ends of the earth that I call upon thee. When my heart misgives me, thou wilt set me high up on a rock, thou wilt bring me repose;

  4. 4

    thou, my only hope, my strong tower against the assault of my enemies.

  5. 5

    Oh let me dwell for ever in thy tabernacle, let me take refuge under the shelter of thy wings!

  6. 6

    Lord, thou hast listened to my prayer, a domain thou hast given me where thy name is held in awe.

  7. 7

    Year upon year do thou add to the king’s reign; while generations come and go, may his life still last.

  8. 8

    For ever may he reign under God’s favour; let mercy and faithfulness be his escort.

  9. 9

    Eternally I will sing thy praises, day after day perform my vows.
