Psalm 60

For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A miktam of David. For teaching. When he fought Aram Naharaim and Aram Zobah, and when Joab returned and struck down twelve thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. ^{[a] [b] [c]}

 ² You have shaken the land and torn it open;
       mend its fractures, for it is quaking.

 ³ You have shown your people desperate times;
       you have given us wine that makes us stagger.

 ⁴ But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner
       to be unfurled against the bow.
       Selah

 ⁵ Save us and help us with your right hand,
       that those you love may be delivered.

 ⁶ God has spoken from his sanctuary:
       "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem
       and measure off the Valley of Succoth.

 ⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
       Ephraim is my helmet,
       Judah my scepter.

 ⁸ Moab is my washbasin,
       upon Edom I toss my sandal;
       over Philistia I shout in triumph."

 ⁹ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
       Who will lead me to Edom?

 ¹⁰ Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us
       and no longer go out with our armies?

 ¹¹ Give us aid against the enemy,
       for the help of man is worthless.

 ¹² With God we will gain the victory,
       and he will trample down our enemies.

Psalm 61

       lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

 ³ For you have been my refuge,
       a strong tower against the foe.

 ⁴ I long to dwell in your tent forever
       and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
       Selah

 ⁵ For you have heard my vows, O God;
       you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

       his years for many generations.

       appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.

 ⁸ Then will I ever sing praise to your name
       and fulfill my vows day after day.

Psalm 62

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.

 ² He alone is my rock and my salvation;
       he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

 ³ How long will you assault a man?
       Would all of you throw him down—
       this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

 ⁴ They fully intend to topple him
       from his lofty place;
       they take delight in lies.
       With their mouths they bless,
       but in their hearts they curse.
       Selah

       my hope comes from him.

       he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

 ⁸ Trust in him at all times, O people;
       pour out your hearts to him,
       for God is our refuge.
       Selah

 ⁹ Lowborn men are but a breath,
       the highborn are but a lie;
       if weighed on a balance, they are nothing;
       together they are only a breath.

 ¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion
       or take pride in stolen goods;
       though your riches increase,
       do not set your heart on them.

 ¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
       two things have I heard:
       that you, O God, are strong,

 ¹² and that you, O Lord, are loving.
       Surely you will reward each person
       according to what he has done.

Romans 5

Peace and Joy

 ⁶You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. ⁸But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 ⁹Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! ¹⁰For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! ¹¹Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ

 ¹⁵But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! ¹⁶Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. ¹⁷For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

 ¹⁸Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. ¹⁹For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

 ²⁰The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, ²¹so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
