詩篇 61

1 大衛的詩，交與伶長。用絲弦的樂器。 上帝啊，求你聽我的呼求， 側耳聽我的禱告！

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

2 我心裏發昏的時候， 我要從地極求告你。 求你領我到那比我更高的磐石！

From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

3 因為你作過我的避難所， 作過我的堅固臺，脫離仇敵。

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

4 我要永遠住在你的帳幕裏！ 我要投靠在你翅膀下的隱密處！ (細拉)

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

5 上帝啊，你原是聽了我所許的願； 你將產業賜給敬畏你名的人。

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

6 你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

7 他必永遠坐在上帝面前； 願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他！

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

8 這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
