Latin text
(From Psalm 60)
Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam,
intende orationi meae.
A finibus terrae ad te clamavi
dum anxiaretur cor meum.
In petram excelsam deduc me
quia factus es spes mea
turris fortitudinis contra inimicos.
Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula,
sperabo in velamento alarum tuarum. Sela.
English translation
(New International Version of the Bible, Psalm 61)
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
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.
For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Selah.
