Psalms 61

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

in finem in hymnis David exaudi Deus deprecationem meam intende orationi meae

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

a finibus terrae ad te clamavi dum anxiaretur cor meum in petra exaltasti me deduxisti me

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

quia factus es spes mea turris fortitudinis a facie inimici

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

inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in saecula protegar in velamento alarum tuarum diapsalma

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

quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

dies super dies regis adicies annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis

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

permanet in aeternum in conspectu Dei misericordiam et veritatem quis requiret eius

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

sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in saeculum saeculi ut reddam vota mea de die in diem
