Psalms 60

A prayer for the coming of the kingdom of Christ, which shall have no end.

(Does this psalm differ from what you were expecting? Don't be confused. There are two systems for arranging the psalms: the Septuagint and the Masoretic. We use the Septuagint system here. In the Masoretic system, which is used in most modern Bible translations, this psalm is called Psalm 61, and the previous psalm is known as Psalm 60.)

1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer. 3 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me; 4 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. 5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. 6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. 7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation. 8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search? 9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
