Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 60)

Latin.png Latin text

1  In finem. In hymnis David.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

English metrical New Version (Tate/Brady)

Lord, hear my cry, regard my prayer,
Which I, oppress'd with grief,
From earth's remotest parts address
To thee for kind relief.

O lodge me safe beyond the reach
Of persecuting power;
Thou, who so oft from spiteful foes
Hast heen my sheltering tower.

So shall I in thy sacred courts
Secure from danger lie;
Beneath the covert of thy wings,
All future storms defy.

In sign my vows are heard, once more
I o'er thy chosen reign;
O bless with long and prosperous life
The king thou didst ordain.

Confirm his throne, and make his reign
Accepted in thy sight;
And let thy truth and mercy both
In his defence unite.

So shall I ever sing thy praise,
Thy name for ever bless;
Devote my prosperous days to pay
The vows of my distress.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

English.png English text

1  Hear my crying, O God : give ear unto my prayer.

2  From the ends of the earth will I call upon thee : when my heart is in heaviness.

3  O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I : for thou hast been my hope, and a strong tower for me against the enemy.

4  I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever : and my trust shall be under the covering of thy wings.

5  For thou, O Lord, hast heard my desires : and hast given an heritage unto those that fear thy Name.

6  Thou shalt grant the King a long life : that his years may endure throughout all generations.

7  He shall dwell before God for ever : O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him.

8  So will I always sing praise unto thy Name : that I may daily perform my vows.


Metrical paraphrase by Isaac Watts

English.png English text

When, overwhelmed with grief,
My heart within me dies,
Helpless and far from all relief,
To heav'n I lift mine eyes.

O lead me to the rock
That's high above my head,
And make the covert of thy wings
My shelter and my shade.

Within thy presence, Lord,
For ever I'll abide;
Thou art the tow'r of my defence,
The refuge where I hide.

Thou givest me the lot
Of them that fear thy name:
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same.

Káldi fordítás (60. zsoltár)

Hungarian.png Hungarian text

Végig, Dávid énekeiből.
Hallgasd meg, Isten, az én könyörgésemet; figyelmezz imádságomra.
A föld határairól kiáltok hozzád, mivel szorongattatik szivem. Te fölemelsz engem a kősziklára, vezérelsz engem;
mert reményemmé lettél, erősség tornyává az ellenség ellen.
A te hajlékodban fogok lakni mindörökké, oltalmam lesz szárnyaid árnyéka alatt.
Mert te, Istenem, meghallgatod imádságomat; örökséget adsz a te nevedet félőknek.
A király napjaihoz napokat adsz, esztendeit nemzedékről nemzedékre terjeszted;
s ő megmarad örökké az Isten színe előtt. Az ő irgalmát és igazságát ki veszi számba?
Igy dicséretet mondok a te nevednek mindörökön örökké: hogy teljesítsem fogadásaimat napról napra.
