Psalms 61

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

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！

2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

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！

3 for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

因為你作過我的避難所， 作過我的堅固臺，脫離仇敵。

4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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)

5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

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。

6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.

他必永遠坐在上帝面前； 願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他！

8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.

這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。
