Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Clementine Vulgate
Psalms 60
1In finem. In hymnis David. 2[Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam; intende orationi me. 3A finibus terr ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me, 4quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici. 5Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in scula; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum. 6Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hreditatem timentibus nomen tuum. 7Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis. 8Permanet in ternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret? 9Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sculum sculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.]
