Psalms 61

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.

1In finem. In hymnis David.

2[Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam; intende orationi meæ.

3A finibus terræ ad te clamavi, dum anxiaretur cor meum; in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

4quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

5Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

6Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

7Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.

8Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem ejus quis requiret?

9Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi, ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.]

1Unto the end. With hymns, of David.

2O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.

3I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,

4for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.

5I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.

6For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.

7You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.

8He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?

9So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.
