Psalms 60

Douay-Rheims Bible, Challoner revision (1749–1752), the traditional Catholic English Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate. If you read a modern Bible, this is the same Scripture in older English; some names are spelled differently (Cesarea for Caesarea, Apocalypse for Revelation). About this translation

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.
