Chapter 60

1 O God, You ^R1773 have rejected us. You have broken ^{R1774 F570} us; You have been angry; ^R1775 O, restore ^R1776 us. 2 You have made the land ^{R1777 F571} quake, You have split it open; Heal ^R1778 its breaches, for it totters. 3 You have made ^{R1779 F572} Your people experience hardship; You have given us wine ^F573 to drink ^R1780 that makes us stagger. 4 You have given a banner ^R1781 to those who fear You, That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. ^F574 5 That ^R1782 Your beloved ^R1783 may be delivered, Save ^R1784 with Your right hand, and answer us! ^F575

6 God has spoken in His holiness: ^{R1785 F576} "I will exult, I will portion out Shechem ^R1786 and measure out the valley of Succoth. ^R1787 7 "Gilead ^R1788 is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim ^R1789 also is the helmet ^F577 of My head; Judah is My scepter. ^{R1790 F578} 8 "Moab ^R1791 is My washbowl; Over Edom ^R1792 I shall throw My shoe; Shout loud, O Philistia, ^R1793 because of Me!" 9 Who will bring me into the besieged city? Who will ^F579 lead me to Edom? 10 Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected ^R1794 us? And will ^R1795 You not go forth with our armies, O God? 11 O give us help against the adversary, For deliverance ^R1796 by ^F580 man is in vain. 12 Through ^F581 God we shall do ^R1797 valiantly, And it is He who will tread ^R1798 down our adversaries.

Chapter 61

1 Hear ^R1799 my cry, O God; Give ^R1800 heed to my prayer. 2 From the end ^R1801 of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; ^R1802 Lead me to the ^R1803 rock that is higher than I. 3 For You have been a refuge ^R1804 for me, A tower ^R1805 of strength against ^F582 the enemy. 4 Let me dwell ^{R1806 F583} in Your tent forever; Let me take ^R1807 refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. ^F584

5 For You have heard my vows, ^R1808 O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear ^R1809 Your name. 6 You will prolong ^{R1810 F585} the king's life; ^F586 His years will be as many generations. 7 He will abide ^F587 before ^R1811 God forever; Appoint lovingkindness ^R1812 and truth that they may preserve him. 8 So I will sing ^R1813 praise to Your name forever, That I may pay ^R1814 my vows day by day.

Chapter 62

1 My ^R1815 soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is ^R1816 my salvation. 2 He only is my rock ^R1817 and my salvation, My stronghold; ^R1818 I shall not be greatly shaken. 3 How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning ^R1819 wall, like a tottering fence? 4 They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight ^R1820 in falsehood; They bless ^R1821 with their ^F588 mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah. ^F589 5 My soul, wait ^R1822 in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my ^R1823 rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God my salvation ^R1824 and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge ^R1825 is in God.

8 Trust ^R1826 in Him at all times, O people; Pour ^R1827 out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. 9 Men of low ^R1828 degree are only vanity ^R1829 and men of rank are a lie; ^R1830 In the balances ^R1831 they go up; They are together lighter than breath. 10 Do ^R1832 not trust in oppression And do not vainly ^F590 hope in robbery; ^R1833 If riches increase, do ^R1834 not set your heart upon them. 11 Once ^F591 God has spoken; ^R1835 Twice ^F592 I have heard this: That power ^R1836 belongs to God; 12 And lovingkindness is ^R1837 Yours, O Lord, For You recompense ^R1838 a man according to his work.

Chapter 63

1 O God, You ^R1839 are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; ^F593 My soul thirsts ^R1840 for You, my flesh yearns ^F594 for You, In a dry ^R1841 and weary land where there is no water. 2 Thus I have seen ^R1842 You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

3 Because Your lovingkindness ^R1843 is better than life, My lips will praise You. 4 So I will bless You as ^R1844 long as I live; I will lift ^R1845 up my hands in Your name. 5 My soul is satisfied ^R1846 as with marrow ^F595 and fatness, And my mouth offers praises ^R1847 with joyful lips. 6 When I remember You on ^R1848 my bed, I meditate on You in the night ^R1849 watches,

7 For You ^R1850 have been my help, And in the shadow ^R1851 of Your wings I sing for joy. 8 My soul clings ^R1852 to ^F596 You; Your right ^R1853 hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek ^R1854 my life ^F597 to destroy it, Will go into the depths ^{R1855 F598} of the earth. 10 They ^F599 will be delivered ^{R1856 F600} over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey ^{R1857 F601} for foxes. 11 But the king ^R1858 will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears ^R1859 by Him will glory, For the mouths ^R1860 of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Chapter 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my ^R1861 complaint; ^F602 Preserve ^R1862 my life from dread of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret ^R1863 counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those ^R1864 who do iniquity, 3 Who have ^R1865 sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed ^R1866 bitter speech as their arrow, 4 To shoot ^R1867 from ^F603 concealment at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do ^R1868 not fear. 5 They hold ^F604 fast to themselves an evil purpose; They talk ^F605 of laying ^R1869 snares secretly; They say, "Who ^R1870 can see them?" 6 They devise ^F606 injustices, saying, "We are ready ^F607 with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward ^{R1871 F608} thought and the heart of a man are deep. ^F609

7 But God ^R1872 will ^F610 shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they ^F611 will be wounded. 8 So they ^F612 will ^F613 make ^R1873 him stumble; Their ^R1874 own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake ^R1875 the head. 9 Then all men will ^F614 fear, ^R1876 And they will ^F615 declare ^R1877 the work of God, And will ^F616 consider what ^F617 He has done. 10 The righteous man will be glad ^R1878 in the LORD and will take ^R1879 refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will glory.

Chapter 65

1 There will be silence before ^F618 You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow ^R1880 will be performed. 2 O You who hear prayer, To You all ^R1881 men ^F619 come. 3 Iniquities ^{R1882 F620} prevail against me; As for our transgressions, You forgive ^{R1883 F621} them. 4 How blessed ^R1884 is the one whom You choose ^R1885 and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied ^R1886 with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5 By awesome ^R1887 deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God ^R1888 of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends ^R1889 of the earth and of the farthest sea; ^{R1890 F622}

6 Who establishes ^R1891 the mountains by His strength, Being girded ^R1892 with might; 7 Who stills ^R1893 the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult ^R1894 of the peoples. 8 They who dwell in the ends ^R1895 of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn ^F623 and the sunset shout for joy. 9 You visit the earth and cause ^R1896 it to overflow; You greatly enrich ^R1897 it; The stream ^{R1898 F624} of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, ^R1899 for thus You prepare the ^F625 earth. 10 You water its furrows abundantly, You settle ^F626 its ridges, You soften it with ^R1900 showers, You bless its growth. 11 You have crowned the year with ^F627 Your bounty, ^{R1901 F628} And Your paths ^F629 drip ^R1902 with fatness. 12 The ^R1903 pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills ^R1904 gird themselves with rejoicing. 13 The meadows are clothed ^R1905 with flocks And the valleys are covered ^R1906 with grain; They shout ^R1907 for joy, yes, they sing.

Chapter 66

1 Shout ^R1908 joyfully to God, all the earth; 2 Sing the glory ^R1909 of His name; Make His praise ^R1910 glorious. 3 Say to God, "How awesome ^R1911 are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give ^{R1912 F630} feigned obedience to You. 4 "All ^R1913 the earth will worship You, And will sing ^R1914 praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name." Selah. ^F631 5 Come ^R1915 and see the works of God, Who is awesome ^R1916 in His deeds toward the sons of men. 6 He turned ^R1917 the sea into dry land; They passed through the ^R1918 river on foot; There let us rejoice ^R1919 in Him! 7 He rules ^R1920 by His might forever; His eyes ^R1921 keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt ^R1922 themselves. Selah.

8 Bless our God, O peoples, And sound ^{R1923 F632} His praise abroad, 9 Who keeps ^{R1924 F633} us in life And does ^R1925 not allow our feet to slip. ^F634 10 For You have tried ^R1926 us, O God; You have refined ^R1927 us as silver is refined. 11 You brought ^R1928 us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins. 12 You made men ride ^R1929 over our heads; We went through fire ^R1930 and through water, Yet You brought ^R1931 us out into a place of abundance.

13 I shall come ^R1932 into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay ^R1933 You my vows, 14 Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in ^R1934 distress. 15 I shall offer ^R1935 to You burnt offerings of fat beasts, With the smoke of rams; ^R1936 I shall make an offering of bulls ^F635 with male goats. Selah. 16 Come ^R1937 and hear, all who fear ^F636 God, And I will tell ^R1938 of what He has done for my soul. 17 I cried to Him with my mouth, And He ^F637 was extolled ^R1939 with my tongue. 18 If I regard ^{R1940 F638} wickedness in my heart, The Lord ^R1941 will ^F639 not hear; ^F640 19 But certainly God ^R1942 has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed ^R1943 be God, Who has ^R1944 not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.
