1(61) For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.
1For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt. God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.
2From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:
2You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
3because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
3You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
4I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause.
4You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.
5So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
6You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.
6God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
7He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
8So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
8Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
