Psalm 60

1  O God, you have cast us off and broken us; ♦︎
   you have been angry; restore us to yourself again.
2  You have shaken the earth and torn it apart; ♦︎
   heal its wounds, for it trembles.
3  You have made your people drink bitter things; ♦︎
   we reel from the deadly wine you have given us.
4  You have made those who fear you to flee, ♦︎
   to escape from the range of the bow.
5  That your beloved may be delivered, ♦︎
   save us by your right hand and answer us.
6  God has spoken in his holiness: ♦︎
   ‘I will triumph and divide Shechem,
      and share out the valley of Succoth.
7  ‘Gilead is mine and Manasseh is mine; ♦︎
   Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my sceptre.
8  ‘Moab shall be my washpot;
      over Edom will I cast my sandal; ♦︎
   across Philistia will I shout in triumph.’
9  Who will lead me into the strong city? ♦︎
   Who will bring me into Edom?
10  Have you not cast us off, O God? ♦︎
   Will you no longer go forth with our troops?
11  Grant us your help against the enemy, ♦︎
   for earthly help is in vain.
12  Through God will we do great acts, ♦︎
   for it is he that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalm 63

1  O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; ♦︎
   my soul is athirst for you.
2  My flesh also faints for you, ♦︎
   as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
3  So would I gaze upon you in your holy place, ♦︎
   that I might behold your power and your glory.
4  Your loving-kindness is better than life itself ♦︎
   and so my lips shall praise you.
5  I will bless you as long as I live ♦︎
   and lift up my hands in your name.
6  My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, ♦︎
   and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
7  When I remember you upon my bed ♦︎
   and meditate on you in the watches of the night.
8  For you have been my helper ♦︎
   and under the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
9  My soul clings to you; ♦︎
   your right hand shall hold me fast.
10  But those who seek my soul to destroy it ♦︎
   shall go down to the depths of the earth;
11  Let them fall by the edge of the sword ♦︎
   and become a portion for jackals.
12  But the king shall rejoice in God;
      all those who swear by him shall be glad, ♦︎
   for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
