1 Ao mestre de canto. Com instrumentos de corda. De Davi.

2 Ouvi, ó Deus, o meu clamor, atendei à minha oração.

3 Dos confins da terra clamo a vós, quando me desfalece o coração.

4 Haveis de me elevar sobre um rochedo e me dar descanso, porque vós sois o meu refúgio, uma torre forte contra o inimigo.

5 Habite eu sempre em vosso tabernáculo, e me abrigue à sombra de vossas asas!

6 Pois vós, ó meu Deus, ouvistes os meus votos, destes-me a recompensa dos que temem vosso nome.

7 Acrescentai dias aos dias do rei. Que seus anos atinjam muitas gerações.

8 Reine ele na presença de Deus eternamente, dai-lhe por salvaguarda vossa graça e fidelidade.

9 Assim, cantarei sempre o vosso nome e cumprirei todos os dias os meus votos.

To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.

1 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.*60.1 Michtam: or, A golden Psalm*60.1 scattered: Heb. broken

2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

5 That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.

6 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.*60.8 triumph…: or, triumph thou over me: (by an irony)

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?*60.9 strong…: Heb. city of strength?

10 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.*60.11 help of man: Heb. salvation, etc

12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
