Psalm
61
1
O God, hear my cry for help! Pay attention to my prayer!
2
From the most remote place on earth I call out to you in my despair. Lead me up to an inaccessible rocky summit!
3
Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.
4
I will be a permanent guest in your home; I will find shelter in the protection of your wings. (Selah)
5
For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers.
6
Give the king long life! Make his lifetime span several generations!
7
May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.
8
Then I will sing praises to your name continually, as I fulfill my vows day after day.
62
1
For God alone I patiently wait; he is the one who delivers me.
2
He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended.
3
How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.
4
They spend all their time planning how to bring him down. They love to use deceit; they pronounce blessings with their mouths, but inwardly they utter curses. (Selah)
5
Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives me confidence.
6
He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended.
7
God delivers me and exalts me; God is my strong protector and my shelter.
8
Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our shelter! (Selah)
9
Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.
10
Do not trust in what you can gain by oppression! Do not put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery! If wealth increases, do not become attached to it!
11
God has declared one principle; two principles I have heard: God is strong,
12
and you, O Lord, demonstrate loyal love. For you repay men for what they do.
63
1
O God, you are my God! I long for you! My soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2
Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor.
3
Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.
4
For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
5
As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you,
6
whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours.
7
For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice.
8
My soul pursues you; your right hand upholds me.
9
Enemies seek to destroy my life, but they will descend into the depths of the earth.
10
Each one will be handed over to the sword; their corpses will be eaten by jackals.
11
But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.
64
1
Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy's terrifying attacks.
2
Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.
3
They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,
4
in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.
5
They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?"
6
They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man's inner thoughts cannot be discovered.
7
But God will shoot at them; suddenly they will be wounded by an arrow.
8
Their slander will bring about their demise. All who see them will shudder,
9
and all people will fear. They will proclaim what God has done, and reflect on his deeds.
10
The godly will rejoice in the LORD and take shelter in him. All the morally upright will boast.
65
1
Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion. Vows made to you are fulfilled.
2
You hear prayers; all people approach you.
3
Our record of sins overwhelms me, but you forgive our acts of rebellion.
4
How blessed is the one whom you choose, and allow to live in your palace courts. May we be satisfied with the good things of your house - your holy palace.
5
You answer our prayers by performing awesome acts of deliverance, O God, our savior. All the ends of the earth trust in you, as well as those living across the wide seas.
6
You created the mountains by your power, and demonstrated your strength.
7
You calm the raging seas and their roaring waves, as well as the commotion made by the nations.
8
Even those living in the most remote areas are awestruck by your acts; you cause those living in the east and west to praise you.
9
You visit the earth and give it rain; you make it rich and fertile with overflowing streams full of water. You provide grain for them, for you prepare the earth to yield its crops.
10
You saturate its furrows, and soak its plowed ground. With rain showers you soften its soil, and make its crops grow.
11
You crown the year with your good blessings, and you leave abundance in your wake.
12
The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, and the hills are clothed with joy.
13
The meadows are clothed with sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
