Psalmorum 61

1 In finem, In hymnis David. Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam: intende orationi meæ.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 A finibus terræ ad te clamavi: dum anxiaretur cor meum, in petra exaltasti me. Deduxisti me,

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 quia factus es spes mea: turris fortitudinis a facie inimici.

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula: protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Quoniam tu Deus meus exaudisti orationem meam: dedisti hereditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

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

6 Dies super dies regis adiicies: annos eius usque in diem generationis et generationis.

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7 Permanet in æternum in conspectu Dei: misericordiam et veritatem eius quis requiret?

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

8 Sic psalmum dicam nomini tuo in sæculum sæculi: ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.

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