Psalm 60 (61)

1 In finem. In hymnis David.

1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David.

2 Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam ; intende orationi meæ.

2 Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer.

3 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum ; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

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 quia factus es spes mea : turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

4 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

5 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula ; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

5 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

6 Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam ; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

6 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

7 Dies super dies regis adjicies ; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.

7 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

8 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei : misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret ?

8 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

9 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.

9 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
