Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

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

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, 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 thou hast 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 thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

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

7 He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.

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