Psalms 60 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version
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.
Psalms 60
1O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
5That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
6God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
11Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
