Chapter 60

Psalms · King David

¹ For the end, among the Hymns of David.

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· τῷ Δαυΐδ.

Ps 60:1

² O God, hearken to my petition;

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

Ps 60:2

³ From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee,

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

Ps 60:3

⁴ because thou wert my hope,

ὅτι ἐγενήθης ἐλπίς μου, πύργος ἰσχύος ἀπὸ προσώπου ἐχθροῦ.

Ps 60:4

⁵ I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever;

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

Ps 60:5

⁶ For thou, O God, hast heard my prayers;

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

Ps 60:6

⁷ Thou shalt add days to the days of the king;

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

Ps 60:7

⁸ He shall endure forever before God:

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

Ps 60:8

⁹ So will I sing to thy name forever and ever,

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