PSALMS
61.5
- 14Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more;
- And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob,
- Unto the ends of the earth. Selah
- 15And they return at evening, they howl like a dog,
- And go round about the city;
- 16They wander up and down to devour,
- And tarry all night if they have not their fill.
- 17But as for me, I will sing of Thy strength;
- Yea, I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning;
- For Thou hast been my high tower,
- And a refuge in the day of my distress.
- 18O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises;
- For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
60 For the Leader; upon Shushan Eduth; Michtam of David, to teach; 2when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand.
- 3O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast broken us down;
- Thou hast been angry; O restore us.
- 4Thou hast made the land to shake, Thou hast cleft it;
- Heal the breaches thereof; for it tottereth.
- 5Thou hast made Thy people to see hard things;
- Thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
- 6Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee,
- That it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah
- 7That Thy beloved may be delivered,
- Save with Thy right hand, and answer me.
- 8God spoke in His holiness, that I would exult;
- That I would divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
- 9Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
- Ephraim also is the defence of my head;
- Judah is my sceptre.
- 10Moab is my washpot;
- Upon Edom do I cast my shoe;
- Philistia, cry aloud because of me!
- 11Who will bring me into the fortified city?
- Who will lead me unto Edom?
- 12Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off?
- And Thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
- 13Give us help against the adversary;
- For vain is the help of man.
- 14Through God we shall do valiantly;
- For He it is that will tread down our adversaries.
61 For the Leader; with string-music. [A Psalm] of David.
- 2Hear my cry, O God;
- Attend unto my prayer.
- 3From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth;
- Lead me to a rock that is too high for me.
- 4For Thou hast been a refuge for me,
- A tower of strength in the face of the enemy.
- 5I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever;
- I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah
