Psalms 61

1 [For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.] Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

To the victorie on orgun, to Dauid hym silf. God, here thou my biseching; yyue thou tent to my preyer.

2 From the most remote place of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Fro the endis of the lond Y criede to thee; the while myn herte was angwischid, thou enhaunsidist me in a stoon.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Thou laddest me forth, for thou art maad myn hope; a tour of strengthe fro the face of the enemye.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

I schal dwelle in thi tabernacle in to worldis; Y schal be keuered in the hilyng of thi wengis.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

For thou, my God, hast herd my preier; thou hast youe eritage to hem that dreden thi name.

6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.

Thou schalt adde daies on the daies of the king; hise yeeris til in to the dai of generacioun and of generacioun.

7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

He dwellith with outen ende in the siyt of God; who schal seke the merci and treuthe of hym?

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows day after day.

So Y schal seie salm to thi name in to the world of world; that Y yelde my vowis fro dai in to dai.
