詩篇 61

1 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！

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

2 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！

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

3 因為你作過我的避難所， 作過我的堅固臺，脫離仇敵。

For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 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)

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

5 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。

For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.

6 你要加添王的壽數； 他的年歲必存到世世。

You will prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7 他必永遠坐在上帝面前； 願你預備慈愛和誠實保佑他！

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

8 這樣，我要歌頌你的名，直到永遠， 好天天還我所許的願。

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