Psalm 60

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· τῷ Δαυΐδ.

1 (61) For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

2 ΕΙΣΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ὁ Θεός, τῆς δεήσεώς μου, πρόσχες τῇ προσευχῇ μου.

2 In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 ἀπὸ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς πρὸς σὲ ἐκέκραξα ἐν τῷ ἀκηδιάσαι τὴν καρδίαν μου· ἐν πέτρᾳ ὕψωσάς με, ὡδήγησάς με,

3 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me: (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἐλπίς μου, πύργος ἰσχύος ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ.

4 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 παροικήσω ἐν τῷ σκηνώματί σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, σκεπασθήσομαι ἐν σκέπει τῶν πτερύγων σου. (διάψαλμα).

5 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ὅτι σύ, ὁ Θεός, εἰσήκουσας τῶν εὐχῶν μου, ἔδωκας κληρονομίαν τοῖς φοβουμένοις τὸ ὄνομά σου.

6 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ἡμέρας ἐφ᾿ ἡμέρας τοῦ βασιλέως προσθήσεις, τὰ ἔτη αὐτοῦ ἕως ἡμέρας γενεᾶς καὶ γενεᾶς.

7 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 διαμενεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ τίς ἐκζητήσει;

8 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth? (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 οὕτως ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος τοῦ ἀποδοῦναί με τὰς εὐχάς μου ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας.

9 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows. (verse 8 in Brenton's English)
