1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.
2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer.
3 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;
4 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.
5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.
6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.
8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?
9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Verse Of The DayMoab is called God's 'washpot' and Edom the place where He casts out His shoe, images tied to the campaigns recorded in 2 Samuel 8:12-13. The psalm ends on confident resolve, 'through God we shall do valiantly,' before the exile-tinged prayer of Psalms 61.
