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.
Douay-Rheims 1899
Psalms 60
1Unto the end, in hymns, for David. 2Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer, 3To 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; 4For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. 5In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. 6For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. 7Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation. 8He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search? 9So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
