| Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 (60-1) <Unto the end, in hymns, for David.> (60-2) Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer. | 1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. |
| 2 (60-3) To 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; | 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. |
| 3 (60-4) For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy. | 3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. |
| 4 (60-5) In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings. | 4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. "Selah" |
| 5 (60-6) For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name. | 5 For you have heard my vows, O God; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name. |
| 6 (60-7) Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation. | 6 Increase the days of the king's life, his years for many generations. |
| 7 (60-8) He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search? | 7 May he be enthroned in God's presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him. |
| 8 (60-9) So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day. | 8 Then will I ever sing praise to your name and fulfill my vows day after day. |
