Psalm 60
Brenton Septuagint Translation
Chapter overview
Psalm 60 laments military defeat as cracked land and rejected forces, yet still recognizes divine sovereignty over every region. The nation asks for restoration, rallies beneath a banner, and rejects confidence in merely human rescue.

1For the end, among the Hymns of David.
2O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.
3From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock, thou didst guide me:
4because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.
5I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. Pause.
6For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
7Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; thou shalt lengthen his years to all generations.
8He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?
9So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
