Tap a verse to highlight it

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Psalm 60 lament?
Psalm 60 laments a national defeat -- 'thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us' (v.1) -- then shifts to God's own declaration of territorial claims over Shechem, Succoth, Gilead, Moab, and Edom (vv.6-8), closing with a plea for help since 'vain is the help of man' (v.11).
What does verse 8 mean by 'Moab is my washpot'?
It's God's own boastful claim of dominance over Moab and Edom, treating them as conquered territory used for the lowliest tasks, imagery connected to the victories described in 2 Samuel 8:12-13.
How does the psalm end?
It ends with confidence that comes only through God: 'Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies' (v.12).
