Psalm 60:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

That thy beloved people may deliver'd be from thrall, Save with the pow'r of thy right hand, and hear me when I call.

See the chapter Copy

Thy wondrous loving-kindness show, thou that, by thy right hand, Sav'st them that trust in thee from those that up against them stand.

The shield of thy salvation thou didst on me bestow: Thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness made me grow.

Thy hand, ev'n thy right hand of might, why dost thou thus draw back? O from thy bosom pluck it out for our deliv'rance sake.

Through God we'll do great acts; he shall tread down our enemies.

'Tis vain for you to rise betimes, or late from rest to keep, To feed on sorrows' bread; so gives he his beloved sleep.

This man did trust in God, that he would free him by his might: Let him deliver him, sith he had in him such delight.

Now know I God his king doth save: he from his holy heav'n Will hear him, with the saving strength by his own right hand giv'n.

Thou, Lord, who great adversities, and sore, to me didst show, Shalt quicken, and bring me again from depths of earth below.

But I for ever will declare, I Jacob's God will praise.
