Psalmes 61

P S A L. LX.

1 Dauid complayning to God of former iudgement, 4 now vpon better hope prayeth for deliuerance. 6 Comforting himselfe in Gods promises, he craueth that helpe whereon he trusteth.

¶ [ref][fn]To the chiefe Musician vpon Shushan-Eduth Michtam of Dauid, to teach. When hee stroue with Aram Naharaim, and with Aram Zobah, when Ioab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt, twelue thousand.

LXI ¶ O God, thou hast cast vs off; thou hast scattered vs, thou hast bene displeased, O turne thy selfe to vs againe. 2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heale the breaches thereof, for it shaketh. 3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made vs to drinke the wine of astonishment. 4 Thou hast giuen a banner to them that feare thee: that it may be displayed because of the trueth. Selah. 5 [ref]That thy beloued may be deliuered; saue with thy right hand, and heare mee. 6 God hath spoken in his holinesse, I wil reioyce: I will diuide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Iudah is my Lawgiuer. 8 Moab is my wash-pot, ouer Edom wil I cast out my shooe: Philistia, [fn]triumph thou because of me. 9 [fn]Who wil bring me into the strong citie? who will lead me into Edom? 10 [ref]Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast vs off? and thou, O God, which didst not goe out with our armies. 11 [fn]Giue vs helpe from trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man. 12 Through God wee shall doe valiantly: for he it is that shall tread downe our enemies.

P S A L. LXI.

1 Dauid fleeth to God vpon his former experience. 4 He voweth perpetuall seruice vnto him because of his promises.

¶ To the chiefe Musician vpon Neginah. A Psalme of Dauid.

LXI ¶ Heare my cry, O God, attend vnto my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth wil I cry vnto thee, when my heart is ouerwhelmed: leade me to the rocke, that is higher then I. 3 For thou hast bene a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. 4 [fn]I will abide in thy Tabernacle for euer: I will trust in the couert of thy wings. Selah. 5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vowes: thou hast giuen me the heritage of those that feare thy name. 6 [fn][fn]Thou wilt prolong the kings life: and his yeeres as many generations. 7 He shall abide before God for euer: O prepare mercy and trueth which may preserue him. 8 So will I sing praise vnto thy name for euer, that I may daily performe my vowes.
