Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

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

2 From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

3 For thou have 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 forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Inhabitabo in tabernaculo tuo in sæcula; protegar in velamento alarum tuarum.

5 For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

Quoniam tu, Deus meus, exaudisti orationem meam; dedisti hæreditatem timentibus nomen tuum.

6 Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

Dies super dies regis adjicies; annos ejus usque in diem generationis et generationis.

7 He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

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

8 So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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