Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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 end of the earth will I call unto thee, 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 thou hast 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 thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

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

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

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many 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 abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness 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 will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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