Read Psalm Chapters 60 and 61
Key Verses: Psalm 60:11-12 and 61:1-3…
1 You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us; now restore us to Your favor.
2 You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks, for the land trembles.
3 You have been very hard on us,
making us drink wine that sent us reeling.
4 But You have raised a banner for those who fear You—
a rallying point in the face of attack.
5 Now rescue Your beloved people.
Answer and save us by Your Power.
6 God has promised this by His Holiness:
“I will divide up Shechem with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh, too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors,
and Judah, my scepter, will produce my kings.
8 But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant,
and I will wipe my feet on Edom
and shout in triumph over Philistia.”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who will bring me victory over Edom?
10 Have You rejected us, O God?
Will You no longer march with our armies?
11 Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
12 With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for He will trample down our foes.
1 O God, listen to my cry!
Hear my prayer!
2 From the ends of the earth,
I cry to you for help
when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
3 for You are my safe refuge,
a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me.
4 Let me live forever in Your sanctuary,
safe beneath the shelter of Your wings!
5 For You have heard my vows, O God.
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.
6 Add many years to the life of the king!
May his years span the generations!
7 May he reign under God’s protection forever.
May Your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him.
8 Then I will sing praises to Your name forever
as I fulfill my vows each day.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, You know my thoughts, You know everything that my heart longs for, sometimes though it is the worry of things I see happening all around me that consumes my mind. I can become overwhelmed with the stress of the day. But You Lord put the enemy in its place and You tower over me like a rock of safety. I know I find my refuge in You, I know You are my protection when I am under attack. Thank You for hearing my prayer, thank You for answering my call for help. Thank You Lord for being the only One where I find help in every situation. I will sing praises to Your Name forever. Amen.
